Office 2.0: Ismael's secrets...and a live videocast

Ismael Ghalimi, the organizer of the Office 2.0 conference (more) is serious about living the Web 2.0 dream: Aside from a browser, he has no applications installed on his laptop, except for iWork, which he says he uses to remind himself what old-style software is like. (Even I use traditional software for writing and e-mail.)

Check out Ismael's notes on Office 2.0 services that work. And this comprehensive database of Office 2.0 applications that he's put together. Useful tips.

But what if there's no available Internet connection for Ismael when he wants to work? "I just take a break. Which can be a good thing."

I'm hosting a panel about Office 2.0 standards and platforms that will probably start around 9:30 a.m. (although it's scheduled for 9). Tune in to the conference live stream to check it out.

So...Let's think about this article again.

Ismael the Web 2.0 guy apparently can't do anything (I have no idea what IWork is supposed to do) if he doesn't have an Internet connection. His Macintosh (which I'll assume is a laptop) would be more useful if he didn't have that dependency on an open Internet connection.
