Sharecropping? Not much left to be shared.
Wed, 04/16/2008 - 08:58 — raf
Google has made a few bold moves into the Platform as a Service (PaaS) and application API space recently. And, most notably the announcement of the Salesforce.com cooperation rolls this strategy to the end users. As Tier1's Phil Shih phrases it: "Salesforce and Google go after SMB market more aggressively; hosters beware".
Matt Asay points out on his blog that Google may be at an inflection point of having to commit to either Open Standards or becoming evil after all. Ars Technica's Clint Ecker feels that the lock-in strategy is at full steam already, as he thinks that the PaaS move "... most blatant downside is being locked into Google's platform."
These moves seem to have the pretty obvious strategy of locking down the Internet to a certain vendor. This is capitalism, after all, which means competition and control. The real danger lies in the more indirect effects of some of Google's advances. With the announcement of "The Users API", Google is sneaking in a platform to grab customers away from Hosters, Telcos, Internet Companies and Service providers. Tim Bray makes the point in his "ongoing" blog by saying: Use the User API "...and now you’re a sharecropper on the Google plantation.". ZDNet's Dana Gardner goes one step further and calls this the "Gangsta cloud wars".
At the end of the day this is about getting hold of the customers of the current service providers. Currently they own, know and service them locally - the latter an advantage that is not easy to take away. But giving away the ownership and knowledge about their own customers, and thus becoming a sharecropper for Google will result in the ultimate demise. Open Source and SaaS may come to the rescue - if the new offerings are built on truly open platforms and applications.

I always believe that watches have something in common with rings. replica watchesWe all know that watches not only represent the time,A Lange & Sohne Watches but also stand for the memory. Aigner WatchesThey have long histories which record our minutes and seconds as well as our moving stories. Audemars Piguet WatchesIn this sense, there is the story of a watch is more valuable than diamond.Breitling WatchesChanel WatchesIn social situations, wearing watches usually means strong sense of time and precise style. Those people who having no their own watches are usually ignored by the public.Chopard Watches Do the watches have their existing values in today’s society which mobile phones prevail?Dior Watches How do you think of them? Do you use them as your decorations like rings or just mechanical power regulating body? Ebel WatchesNot all persons can afford the classical watches, so have you ever thought of buying replica watches to satisfy yourselves?IWC WatchesYou can tell a people by their watches which reflect their status, identity and wealth in social situations. Panerai WatchesTherefore, watches worn by people, especially by men are most eye-catchingTag Heuer Watches in interpersonal communication.

EasyTone Shoes
The Reebok Easytone Shoes is probably the most athletic and traditional of the Calorie Burning or Reebok EasyTone category, emulating their traditional Reebok EasyTone Trainers. The Reebok ZigTech shoes, rather than sporting a modified curved outsole you see in some brands, actually Easytone Trainers at the heel and the forefoot of the Reebok ZigTech. This technology is based on the well known “Reebok Zig pulse shoes” which are used in workouts and in many offices and Men's Reebok Zigtech as chairs that help improve your posture and build core strength. Everything about EasyTone Shoes is designed to conserve and return energy to the athlete for a soft and springy stride. The Easy Tone Shoes bottom unit features an innovative, lightweight foam that is engineered into a dramatic, geometric, EasyTone Inspire. This unique Cheap Zigtech Shoes sole absorbs the impact of heel strike and sends a wave of energy along the length of the Cheap Zigtech Shoes to help propel the athlete forward with Discount Reebok zigtech.
zig pulse women
Reebok Easytone Trainers do not offer the health enhancing properties of competitor brands on the market such as Reebok Easytone Shoes and Easytone Shoes, however what they do offer is an increased workout and toning of the legs and bottoms in super quick time. They can be easily incorporated into a daily routine and offer a more thorough workout Reebok Easy Tone Shoes walking, jogging or just pottering around the house completing daily Reebok EasyTone.
Independent tests have demonstrated that Reebok EasyTone Inspire will boost muscle activity to the gluteus by up to 28%, with hamstring activity raised by 11% and a further 11% boost to the Discount Reebok EasyTone.If the gamble pays off for Reebok ZigTech Shoes, then maybe these shoes will help revitalize their brand. What do you think? Do you plan to buy the new Zig Pulse Shoes pieces ‘which claims to be’ on the energy drink for your feet? I do not see any of these in the future. You can watch a video of John Wall Mens ZigTech Shoes commercial below. Without being at the press conference announcement of the shoes.Everything about zig pulse women is designed to conserve and return energy to the athlete for a soft and springy stride. The one-of-a-kind Cheap Zigtech Shoesbottom unit features an innovative, lightweight foam that is engineered into a dramatic, geometric, Reebok ZigTech.
