A thought just struck me as I was just mulling over some of the stuff I heard today on the latest Gillmor Gang and Gillmor Daily. I really like Steve Gillmor's approach to moderating and fuelling discussion, as well as his ideas.
The thing that struck me is that it's interesting how guys like Steve and to a certain extend Tim O'Reilly as well (having watched his Mix 06 discussion with Bill Gates yesterday) have very pronounced ideas about new directions in Technology (Steve with his Gesture Bank and Tim of course with the whole Web X.0 movement). At the same time (being true to their analyst inclinations) they criticize the incumbents. Which of course is fine, but and this brings me to my point, they seem to be stuck more in their ideas rather than developing their vision(s) into tangible product(s). As I said... just a thought...
