I originally requested an XML feed for the content one can store into the database, but Andrew and Avi where quick to point out that a JSON feed might be easier to use from straight HTML pages. They just added support for it on a limited basis and I will try to use it in order to provide custom views for the Office 2.0 database. Stay tuned… [...] […] Last but not least, the good folks at Dabble DB have been working around the clock to fix the feed entry into the Office 2.0 bug tracker.

It should be as easy to use as QuickBooks, it should work with any web browser on any operating system, and it should be priced in such a way that most small businesses can afford it, ideally less than $25 per user and per month. In the meantime, I made a new entry into the Office 2.0 bug tracker. [...] […] Conclusion, an accounting solution for Office 2.0 is much needed.

This is one of the bugs that plague the concept for Office 2.0 today. This could be solved with single sign-on, which is one of the interoperability services that are needed to make Office 2.0 a truly effective computing platform.

While this remains true so far, a temporary fix is now available. It’s called PXN8 (pronounce ‘PIX-EN-ATE’), it’s free, it’s fast, and it’s very impressive. It does not come even close to any respectable desktop photo editing software, but its rock-solid support for resizing, cropping and red eye removal should make it a very useful tool for daily tasks. Many thanks to Pascal for sharing this one with us. [...] […] One of the bugs currently recorded into the Office 2.0 Bug Tracker is that there is no Office 2.0 alternative to Photoshop.

Most people are quite happy driving cars. Some people need to drive trucks. There will always be special applications that need to run locally. Just that not everyone will need those. All of my graphic needs, mostly cropping and retouching, can be met by an online service. On iTunes. If iPods go wireless, the only thing separating us from Web-based iTunes is the cost of online storage, and the music labels botching it up. I'm giving it two years, and then we'll wonder how it could ever have been different. On Salesforce.com. Watch out for <a href="http://www.37signals.com/">37signals</a>' upcoming CRM. They know how to make it simpler and cheaper. For a lot of people (self included) that will be the stepping stone into personal CRM. On single sign-on. That's a pain, but another one worth mentioning is billing—when you start paying for premium services and storage. I'm guessing someone will figure out a way to federate services together with single sign-on and pay-per-use billing. One thing you're not talking about is hardware. To be fully online all the time, I'm going to sacrifice my battery life for all the different RF transmitters I'm using. But if I store less, I can get rid of the massive harddisk. Next year's 8GB NAND memory may be just enough for a Web 2.0 PC. So we're talking not just about a new way to use computers, but different types of computers. Computers designed not for performance, but for being truely mobile and always on. On Photoshop. Most people are quite happy driving cars. Some people need to drive trucks.
