But things got off to a slow start. The only tool our chap could use to find new friends was his tiny little blog, and not very many people paid much attention to it, but those who did really liked it. Then one day, something magical happened. One of our chap’s friends heard that a website was better than a blog to organize a meeting, so he hacked something together, and… voila! The gathering had a website. That was a long, long time ago. A whole 1,382,400 seconds ago. Sixteen days. Two weeks and two days.

For Microsoft, it’s more about the revenue from embedded ads than trying to solve a business or user problem.

“It’s a dramatic sea change,” Gates said of the overall shift to online services.

Ray Ozzie: "I believe we're currently in a transition period for personal computing: from a tethered, desk-bound, personal productivity view, to one of highly mobile interpersonal productivity and collaboration, communications, coordination. We're focused right now on devices and networks because we're coming at the problem bottom-up: preoccupied by gizmos and technologies' capabilities rather than focusing on how our lives and businesses and economies and societies will be fundamentally altered."
