Reality by Christina Lutze
Continuing the discussion on free ideas, I’d like to see the following (perhaps they already exist..)
A chat bridge - something that can transparently bridge between Yahoo, MSN, Google, and all the other chat softwares….
Such that person A can use Yahoo, person B can use MSN.. and so on… The bridge would be a web site of some sort which can transparently translate between protocols and create virtual screen names which are cross platform compatible…
so for example… Person A has yahoo, person B has AIM. Web site will create a virtual Yahoo person B (for person A to chat with) and vice versa for person A, and this virtual person could be added to their chat software and talked with….
The key is the process would be transparent … a sort of bridge/proxy.
So, if I have only msn, when I sign on to MSN, this web site would make an open source me online and anyone with any chat software could talk to me…
Tip: if you are sick of having MSN, Yahoo and so on, try downloading Gaim which will allow you to login with multiple yahoo/MSN/other ID’s
A common comment standard - so anyone can comment on anyones blog, without bothering about boring login/etc. Think gravatar… hmm.. how about gravarant?… so you login once, and that login is good enough to comment on ANY blog
I hate MSN powered blogs as they expect people to have a microsoft passport login to comment…
A better search engine
Google is good, but not perfect. I want a search engine that’s better. As such it should include..
- Equal or better coverage (than google/yahoo)
- Less dependency on pagerank, or other weasely technologoies.
- Less spam/gameability.
- Owned by an independent company (not google).

Interoperable IM: Jabber transports. It’s uh.. only been available since 1999 or so
There was a time when I used it for Yahoo/MSN/ICQ/AIM. More transports have sprung up since then.
Even Google _could_ offer it with Talk, except I’m not sure they want to. None of the other IM providers would be amused.
Common commenting standard: I suppose you could use CoComment or something. Common commenting standards might mean more comment spam though, so perhaps not. I have never commented on the MSN blogs because of the sign in requirement
Better search engine: uh. You know how many people are out there building the next big search engine? A lot
