The Gillmor Gang

Esther Dyson Dan Farber

Steve Gillmor, contributing editor, eWeek Doc Searls, senior editor, Linux Journal Jon Udell, lead analyst, InfoWorld Test Center Dana Gardner, senior analyst, Yankee Group This week's special guests are Esther Dyson, chairman of EDventure Holdings (CNet), and Dan Farber, Editor, ZDNet/CNet. The program was recorded at Supernova 2004. Halfway through the final day of the conference, The Gang considers the highlights. Messaging is on everyone's mind. The CEO of Skype called into the conference -- via a POTS line. Increasingly at such events, attendees communicate with one another and with the geographically extended audience in real time. IM, IRC, email, Rendezvous. Is there a future for real-world vs. virtual conferences? Comdex: death or coma?

Is it time for the universal inbox? Can anyone build a cross-platform solution using open standards? (They don't exist for IM.) Apple: Doing great with techies and consumers, but not with the majority in between. There's hope for SPAM. The future of Microsoft's Exchange.
