I made a joke at the beginning of this year, at the AIIA lunch in February I think, that we were heading for the Time of O. The 90’s were the “E‘s”. As in eCommerce, eMail, and electronic services.

genius 🙂
*cough* OpenID OpenAuth tsk tsk.. 🙂

We could’ve skipped o and gone straight for u. As in Utube and USpace. 😛
Priscilla, nah not genius, just a talent for mucking around. 😛
