Comments on: Transaction Costs Make Or Break Great Ideas http://www.brooksandrus.com/blog/2008/06/30/transaction-costs-make-or-break-great-ideas/ This is the blog of Brooks Andrus. Here, at irregular intervals, you may find digital noise centered around the activities of an early 21st century technologist. I work for TechSmith Corporation, but this web space and the views found on it are entirely my own.

If I'm a devoted wine drinker (I'm not, although I do enjoy a nice white now and again) but I'm also a rabid librarything.com user (a similar site centered around one's book collection, something more my speed) maybe what I'm really interested in is one tool to do all my note-taking for me. As my personal computering cloud gets bigger (work laptop, home laptop, home desktop, mobile phone, internet data stores, social networks) I find that I don't have room to add more to the cloud without bumping things out. Twitter meant that I no longer check MySpace or Facebook. Friendfeed keeps people who haven't moved on up to date, but I don't have the "processor time" in my personal cloud to interface with more than a few services at a time. Moore's Law doesn't apply to my brain or attention span, so the transaction itself is going to need to evolve before I can really branch out and grow the size of my personal cloud.

Great post. I heard Gary speak at a conf and it does sound like they want to move Cork'd in a more mobile direction, which is AWESOME! Right on man. Great post.
