Comment on The Mine! Project – Google Tech Talk Part 2 by Dhruv

Interesting concept! Very cool.

However, I have a view on the existence of multi-national corps to manage this. The value add that these corps bring to the table is simplicity for the layman. And potentially, advanced infrastructure for security in this case.

I can see myself using Mine. But I can’t see some of my non-techie friends using it. Hence, there is a need. And when there is a need, there is a corporation.

>Which would probably be the only thing it would need to run, ever.

An amusing image; but that’s not what I am seeking, not at all.

This is *not* a zero-sum game.

We’re not trying to replace the whole of computing with a bunch of webservers – that would be madness, and also would go against my belief of the cyclic incarnations of IT technologies (http://blip.tv/file/422428 — old, but still relevant)

What we’re trying to do is give the generation who use blogs and social media an *extra* tool, one which gives them the ability to participate on the web / in the net in a *new* way, and on their own terms.

I wonder whether the inventor of the telephone was told “Ah, we see, you’re trying to displace books and newspapers! Ha!” — well, in the end, it sort of has done… but that wasn’t the point.

The point was that it was something new; and we think the Mine is something better than a telephone, because it’s your service, not Ma Bell’s or BT’s.
