And guys like me, who run free servers for thousands of people will love it too, because the same servers will be able to connect many more people. By moving most of the work to the edges, our servers only make introductions, they're not doing the heavy lifting they're asked to do in the Dot-com model. I'll be writing lots more about this, in DaveNet and on Scripting News . UserLand is going to be in the middle with our Radio UserLand software, but I expect Desktop Websites to show up from all corners of the Web developer community. Rarely do things come together this neatly.
Patents continue to be an irritant.
UserLand is filing no patents in this area. Lots of prior art is being established now. Help us fight patent madness. It's even worse than it appears.
