Exciting Things Are Happening!
If you were in the software business in the late 90's then you know the excitement that was in the air back then. It felt like anything was possible, and often was! But everyone got greedy and things came crashing down.
But I now feel that same electricity in the air again. There are a lot of different technologies that are coming together in some exciting ways. For two examples of how Google Maps has been combined with other databases then click here and here.
I don't know how long each took to put together but what is quite amazing is that someone can come up with an idea today, work ferociously at bringing it into reality in days/weeks/months, and have it available for everyone in the world to try instaneously. With the great tools now available to developers, that time is only growing shorter.
Now imagine the two examples shown above running on a mobile wireless computer in your car or in your hand. Exciting things ARE happening!
