The interesting question is at the end of the post. Imagine Twitter licenses the firehose to Google, how much should they charge for it ? What is the value ?
"A real time feed of Twitter posts would negate much of the head start Twitter has in the nascent real time search space. It would be a coup for Google to get the Twitter milk without having to buy the cow. The real question is, does Twitter fully understand the value of this feed?"
Looks really cool, just wonder if it is usable on the long run. I'll have a go at the downloadable demo. Below is the presentation video so you can get a feel.
"a gorgeous desktop application that transforms the desktop from a cold, vertical interface into a dynamic 3-dimensional room that makes not only organizing files easy, but browsing images, writing notes, and even updating your Twitter, Facebook, and email."
This one is a superb mashup, you'd almost believe that these 8 artists were sitting in the same room. You'll hear: Green Day, Jack Johnson, Josh Rouse, Joshua Radin, Wyclef, Chrisina Aguilera, Atomic Kitten and the Black Eyed Peas. (via mashuptown.com)
Besides that, the post is absolutely spot on. There is a real opportunity for value creation in this gap between early adopters and the 'real' business.

The problem I think, is that a service to be successful must give more to the users and be more than just a fonction = lock vs handle
