Regarding: <I've seen exciteextreme. I find it "cute". Looks like a sharp programmer could have slapped it together in a couple of days. Even as a "proof of concept" it strikes me as pretty weak.>

The early DOS upgrades looked like they could be "slapped" together in a couple of days... even at that time. Why didn't IBM step forward and blow Microsoft out of the water when they had the chance ? ... because they didn't have the vision.

The deciding factor is more a variable of who gets there first, than it is of quality. Bill Gates grasped that, whereas Steve Jobs didn't... the rest is a history that was repeated again with the old online services and AOL.

AOL is living in the past... ATHM is living tomorrow... where will you be tomorrow ?
