Erik Lagerway, who is a friend guest posted on Om Malik’s blog about the whole idea of silos.
Friend and client David Beckemeyer, creator of PhoneGnome has developed a platform and “thing” as he calls it in PhoneGnome that provides exactly what both Om and Erik are speaking/writing about.
What’s amazing is the traditional press knows exactly what is out there and who is developing or deploying what, yet many in the press continue to write with a blind eye about reality, instead claiming things are one way, when technology and actual productization has already gone past where they think things are. All this happens with the online and blog media more clued.
Thankfully the world can be hit over the head by the likes of the Om Mallet.
