I wonder if they allow for movies to be paused, the pause location to be stored, and then streamed ont another computer/device elsewhere. Even more than movies this would be a great structure for news, documentaries, etc.

The Micro Killer Apps

The Micro Killer Apps:

Web 2.0 is all about micro killer apps. These are killer apps
that are so simple its difficult to explain them to people. Each
one of them does one tiny little thing very well.
del.icio.us does bookmarking
right.
flickr does photo sharing
and tagging. RSS/Atom helps keep track of changes to resources.
Small is beautiful.

None of which integrate together very well. Which is probably why the bizmodel is to sell out to Yahoo or Google, eventually. More scaleable than last times exit-by-IPO, but still constructed in the same philosophy..

One big diff this time around is API’s, which allow for third party integration. But loose coupling only works is Aunt Tillie can put it all together. In other words, systematic, directed mashup capabilities are not available yet.
