Sensor-based interfaces

it's time we realized that the local compute power is a fraction of what's available in the cloud

applications that use those sensors both to feed and interact with cloud services

Facebook has become the Outlook and webmail client for an increasing number of people, especially kids.

he World Wide Web as World Wide Database. Rather than simply sharing links to documents, the next generation web will be about accessing the implicit data. In Kelly's view, every object we manufacture will have a sliver of intelligence in it. The entire world and everything in it will go into a globally connected database of things, that is then shared and linked. We won't worry about how different devices operate or access content. They will all be windows into the same universal network.

Cloud computing, massive scale driven platforms, semantic webs, ubiquitous mobile devices, augmented reality - its a tall order - even for 6500 days. And if you find all of that a hard cocktail to envision, don't be surprised. As Kelly himself acknowledged, when he started Wired magazine in the nineties he expected the Web to be TV, just better. This time he's sure of one thing. Whatever comes next won't be the Web, only better.

Twitters 140 char limit is great as it means spammers can never really overpower anything. You all know the spam comments on blogs with mighty many URLs etc. Not possible here, the volume of spam will need to be divided into many tweets.Twitter clients can do most of the filtering. Not just black/white like many clients do these days, but once they learn about tags, about poster profiles (lookup on mr. tweedeck, etc.) they really can shine: what is a tweet worth from someone who has massive stuff auto-piped into the system? Maybe allot, when it is clear the tweet was NOT auto-piped, i.e. contains individual content.What I would like to see is a client that analyzes tweets based on tags and word (families). Imagine you are at SXSW and have a tag cloud of the real stuff going on. Not just the #tags, but also other words that get used often, used in combination with #tags. There's a lot of information to be used well. Open the iPhone and see what people really are tweeting. No more individual tweets, but tweet heat maps of concepts, coincidences and co-concurrences.Nova, would that not be something to create?
