Digg's Farewell
Digg's Farewell: Complementing today's Slashdot discussion, the folks at digg.com discuss how Friday was the final day of Macromedia, Inc. There's a range of viewpoints, and I'm a little too tipsy at the moment to address them all (I'm typing in between parties here at 601T ;-) -- the biggest idea I'd try to get across is to please look at the software architectures which need to be created for the next ten years, not just the software architectures which have been produced for the past ten, twenty years. There's a lot of work yet to be done here, and I think the new company will be in a prime position to lay out and distribute this groundwork, which others can then build upon. It's not about DTP, or CD-ROM, or WWW, or web apps anymore -- not even about RIAs anymore -- our goal's beyond. There's much more stuff yet to do.
