Open Letter to Consoles Manufacturers
January 7th, 2009
Dear Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony
I’m going to offer you something you might be interested in, as it seems you all have interest in social networks.
In brief
I want you to let me sell HTML/JS and Flash widgets from your online stores.
Long version
You guys created great pieces of equipment, I really fond of current generation. But I think there is place for improvement – place for applications. I understand that there is security and piracy concerns, but there is swift and painless solution – AJAX and Flash widgets.
Both AJAX and Flash apps can be fully black-boxed, they can be built in a way they don’t have access to system at all. Yet they can bring power of RIA to end-users: usage of modern social networks like Twitter, Flickr, Facebook, utilities for weather, time or email checker, even some cute yet pointless widgets that people like anyways.
Once again, it might bring edge to you consoles that some of you search.
David.
