I’ve been reading Jon Udell for over a decade and linked to him in the first real post of this blog Why The Meshverse? because he sees things very clearly. Jon recently announced that he’s leaving InfoWorld to join Microsoft. This bodes well for Microsoft and all of us because the stakes are very high as society goes down the path of Hyperlinking Reality.
The augmentation of human capability in these sorts of ways isn’t just some kind of geek chic. It’s nothing less than a survival issue for our species. We face some really serious challenges. The only way we’re going to be able to tackle them is to figure out how to work together in shared information spaces. I’ve chosen to align myself with Microsoft because I think it has the scale, the resources, and the business incentive to help me empower a lot of people to learn how to do that.
