Microsoft’s done well for itself with the Office suite of applications, and by opening up the XML version, they’re benefiting while not doing harm. The fact that Blu-ray finally won the battle has really opened up the market for high definition video! But it’s having standards that matters.

Im not sure how this relates to danah boyds recent blog article on Viewing American class divisions through FaceBook and MySpace. Im a major geek, yet I avoid Second Life and continue to be skeptical about its use in elearning. Its especially interesting to us in Brighton as Linden Labs are opening a development office here!
