I edit therefore I am

Nicholas’ Carr has a great post on the change of strategy @ Google.
From the spaghetti strategy to the cloud strategy. Here is a quote he makes from brin.

What we’re doing now is we are trying to create the horizontal functionality across a range of products, across media types and so forth. For example, I mentioned already Google Apps for Your Domain, and that in a sense is a product, but really it just combines a whole bunch of other offerings together, seamlessly integrated together so they can work well for an organization.

Another example which we haven’t gotten quite up and running yet, but when you want to share your documents or your pictures or your videos, it would be nice to have the exact same way to share all those things, to have all that functionality available across all of those media types in the identical way, rather than developing sort of one-offs for each of those products …

The way he sees Youtube is great … if google is clouding then Yahoo should definitevely be puzzling.
In a product production bubble it’s a great idea ! One stop shop is still a very value added proposal. That’s what I like about U.[lik].
