Well judging from the title we might draw a conclusion that the application is failing but definitely it is not just a few errors here and there which I thought of sharing. This was on my mind throughout as the works done in Moncton on a project e-learning cluster and I saw that the ‘cluster building’ is still considered to be one of the major pillar of NCR’s strategy, which brings to wonder whether our valuable work would on still linger to be part of that strategy again.
It was running through my head just now, the work that we were doing here in Moncton to work on an e-learning cluster. Because I saw that 'cluster building' is still one of the major pillars of NRC's strategy, and I was wondering whether our work would ever be a part of that again. As my mind begin to wander how some of the things that did not go very well in our first few years, encountering many challenges and hardships. As creating ‘brand image’ was most challenging and tough as some of the companies went under – a couple basically for them to put that thrust in us was really a ‘trying moment’. Some of the companies even before we can talk to them, another, after we were in a project with the company as then we were able to sat down with in 2002 or 2003 and laid it all out nicely based on RSS, content syndication, social networks basically narrowed to the whole Web 2.0 application. And even with all that the companies weren’t interested and within less a year they were gone.
And off cause I thought about where we’re right today and where we might be wrong and why because despite having a pretty record –, as it is on the ‘this years predictions which includes Open ID and the runaway success. From my point of view the semantic web would not work and cannot work. Such a intuition is very difficult to explain as I was focusing on the edgy things of Web 2.0 which indeed was showing some cracks.
Some highlights on the key things of today are :
- As Yahoo is presently forcing people up their Flickr identities and ask them to join the mother ship.
- MySpace is blocking all the widgets which is not supported by some sort of business deal with MySpace.
- And off cause the rumors that Google is turning off the search API also the Semantic Web will never depend on business working together and cooperating.
