Everyday Sites (and Some Unsolved Problems)

Dean Shareski sent this useful link after listening to one of my Ottawa podcasts. The author writes, "my circumstances have changed so much in the last few years, and the Web has improved so much, that I'm finding myself spending most of my time on the Web. This is significant because, unlike several years ago, I'm a regular user now. My job isn't in technology. This should worry Microsoft." My use of the web isn't exactly the same, mostly because I write my own web software. The interface I am using to type this post is my primary tool; it is web-based and it is the sole reason why I can manage to do my work whether at home, in the office or on the road. One problem with tools like Flickr, del.icio.us and the others - "They have your data." Of course, I face that same problem with my desktop, something I learned when Windows locked up and destroyed my hard drive. I don't face that problem today. Something worth thinking about.
