Thanks for the comment Jim. First, what is I interesting is your use cases for Twitter and Facebook are very close to the opposite on my usage patterns. My Facebook exchanges are much more informal with friends and family and while Twitter is sometimes informal, I also have a larger amount of content coverage regarding business and technology topics. I rarely get into those types of conversations in Facebook. In face, I recently stopped auto-posting all of my Tweets into Facebook because many of my friends were saying that they were confusing. Building on that, I've often considered removing business relationships out of Facebook entirely and keeping it for my closer network of friends and family. I haven't done it yet, however, because I think Facebook is going to have to find a way with more clear permissioning to create effective sub-groups.

To your questions, I think you are spot on. First, I think we would be remiss if we didn't say there is a certain "noob" effect on FB. And that I think is where a lot of my analogy comes from. Many of the users on Facebook aren't in the tech community, so they are venturing out and trying all the new platforms like Twitter and Friendfeed. So often, like with AOL, when you use FB constantly, the natural response you build is "why would you do x, y, z elsewhere when you can do it in Facebook". The concept of the open web isn't something a lot of people think about, very much like people in the AOL of the 90s didn't think about what I guess we could call "the larger web". So with that in mind, the open nature of the web and also the ongoing existence of closed-networks drives a lot of the information asymmetry as well.

The concept of the status feature was where it really jumps out to me in an obvious manner.

no point in rushing them back into OTAs and turn it into something that can be a nagging injury; just let them rest it and watch makes sense

that doesn't seem like that much growth over the course of 3 years especially when you are talking about market size

can remember E Ink when I was at Sloan. actually surprised they sold for the number they did. another head scratcher when you see online companies go off at such high multiples but you get a low return on a company who is creating a material good.

why do I see a 'moving meetings' business launching, capturing travel time and espousing energy efficiency. it makes sense when you think about it.

I think cloud will take hold first as it is already but as costs stabilize, it will be a solid combination of both. There is no reason, your social experience and related media can't sit in the cloud with pointers to either the media locations at third party storage services or if you are set up with local storage (say in-house NAS type equipment), that those same pointers can't point back to hardware at your house but connected to the web. For example, we see already a logical movement of where people are going to be able to hook their own hardware and storage space to be available and leverage-able to cloud-based services.

Again, this will simply be a balance of the costs of bandwidth (both up and down) and the cost of storage overall. I just don't see how there won't be a healthy combination of both.

Should Boxee really be on a CIO's radar at this point, is convergence of web with the digital home even part of the CIO conversation, should it be?

In cloud, what about development availability, S3, EC2, gist, gnip, shared data center and server resources (there's your Rackspace plug)

could have major topic not about tools but "paradigm shifts", the breakdown of the walls between the enterprise and the rest of the web, 2010 CIOs will contend more than ever with not being able to put four walls around their corporate constituents
