Monday morning coffee here and I'm laughing at Dave's it never gets old depiction of MBA's doing the Net : "You have to stick with ideas if you want to actually deliver. No doubt there are people with khaki pants and blue shirts, MBAs, and mid-range BMWs, raising money right now with VCs to do what you see me doing here. They don't like old Jewish guys who use their hands when they talk. I think they're scared we might hug them. Anyway, some of the khaki dudes will get rich, and some of them will meet me at a TechCrunch party one day and thank me for the work I'm doing now."

At TechEd someone asked me about taking gnoos wireless - and the reality is if you want to deliver your service to a phone enabled device, you have to develop it for over 5 platforms. And in these 2.0 days of small teams and ideas, who has the resources for that to do it properly ?

This is a standards and aggregator issue, which is why "The Crazy Uncle" is the perfect person required to develop the lowest common denominator ecosystem to drive personalised RSS on the phone. And who's to say the "khaki dudes will get rich" - they may just get another pair of chinos ;)
