Wiring Progress...

Ray Ozzie · Chief Technical Officer, Microsoft

It’s been about a month since I launched the idea for Live Clipboard at the O’Reilly EmTech Conference . Since that time, it's been fun to observe the energy surrounding the concept - both on the web as well as within Microsoft. One particularly interesting thing I found in backtracking the conversation is that, among others, Bill Burcham over at lesscode.org had apparently been thinking and writing about similar concepts for some time. His, and others' evangelism of the concept makes me even more optimistic that we might actually be able to get it to critical mass in some evolved form. In the past few weeks, the discussion thread that our concept development team started has been extremely active. We’ve received some great input and feedback from many of you and as a result have a draft spec for review. We value your insights and look forward to working with you to evolve this to a 1.0 spec. We’ve also updated our sample web page , and our technical introduction to Live Clipboard. Also, last week at Mix06 there were three separate sessions where the Live Clipboard concept was introduced and discussed. At Mix06...Two members of the concept dev team, Paresh Suthar and Matt Augustine, conducted a session on Live Clipboard. Mix06 attendees saw the etech demo and more - including the integration of the Live Clipboard and SSE concepts. Paresh and Matt showed how you can set up SSE contact sync between two users using the Live.com gadget and Live Clipboard.
