I used to run a program called "Google Desktop Search"... now I am running a program called "Google Desktop"... The word SEARCH removed.
Yes, here it is ladies & gentlemen... Google has launched their first platform product, called "Google Desktop". Running the application in "Sidebar Mode" provides me a dashboard into my digital life... everything from news, to pictures, to email (gmail), to weather, etc. is supported in the dashboard. And the PLATFORM is open to developers! I have written numerous posts about the impending platform war and it is good to see that the war is finally on. Imagine writing plug-ins for the platform that leverage the MASSIVE computing power Google has at it's disposal!
Nobody has ever beaten MSFT in a platform war, so this is going to get interesting.
