Comments on: To beat Microsoft, use the Web. To beat Google, use the mobile Web (?)

Google has its biggest opportunity yet in mobile, but it's also falling behind in the race to monetize the mobile Web.

This is such nonsense I'm not even sure where to begin. First, Micrsoft hasn't been "beat" as you suggest in your headline. Not all of their products are #1, nor should they be, but they still have many first-class products, and they still generate huge profits. Second, the desktop OS isn't irrelevant; every PC is still running a desktop OS.

I don't understand why your blog gets linked from cnet. You never have anything insightful to say, just buzzword nonsense. You're a tool.

This article may be more on point then you think. A group or engineers and computer scientists have been developing and acquiring products in a Manhattan type project and mobile data capture and distribution will be the next big thing. Keep an eye on technologies they have like gpsimaging, gps advertising, and 4dlogic. It is not just about the ads. The millions of images they have already captured define time and space. Finding out where you are and where you might want to eat or sleep is easy with their tools. If Mr. Asay wants to learn more reach them at sensibleventures@aol.com. They may be on the road imaging but they check in regularly.

As long as your web designers are not incompetent, moving from the desktop web to the mobile web isn't very difficult.
