Plum helps you save anything… even the environment

Plum is a sponsor of the SuperNova conference this week. I spoke this morning on a panel called the Personal Infospace. Interesting conversation. Topics of privacy, copyright and ownership, how wisdom of crowds scales and what the format of the medium is going to become, among others.

Our theme at the conference is “Plum helps you save anything. Now even the environment.” We are giving away carbon offsets (CO2) to attendees to offset the the greenhouse gasses associated with travel and attending the conference. Check out TerraPass if you want to learn more and perhaps make your own contribution. You can get guilt-free driving by buying one year worth of carbon offsets for your car for under $50,-

Bright future

Interested in a bit of techno-optimism to kick off the week? Read my latest and last ClickZ column. It ran today. I wrap up three and a half years of monthly columns by sharing some personal prognostications and predictions for the effects that the Internet will have by 2010.

Applications moving off the desktop

Nice piece in the New York Times today about how desktop software is expensive and free alternatives are emerging on the net.

Doesn’t hurt that Plum is mentioned :-).

I love this industry. Anybody who doesn’t believe in Darwinism should spend a year of their career in high-tech.
