In responding to Jason Kottke's noodling on the entire Web as a computing platform, am I canoodling?
In any event, the thought that Google has built a world scale computer (and I like to think that Yahoo and MSN have as well, maybe even IBM), has pretty much stuck. But who's building the Web PC for the rest of us?
With a nod to Manila and Radio Userland, where are the consumer grade platforms that help glue all of those nifty Web services and standardized formats together? As a developer, why do I have to repurpose the LAMP architecture every time I want to build the next Bloglines, or del.icio.us? It's like programming with no OS.
And don't give me that Zope crap. That's like programming on the Amiga.
