Comments on this post seem to be completely missing the point. He's not trying to say that we should question all tech, he is saying that to question tech when you don't really have any insights is just a way for people to *appear wise*.

Comments: "Laurent Eschenauer | What's Comments: "What's next Google? Dropping SMTP support?"
URL: http://eschnou.com/entry/whats-next-google--dropping-smtp-support--62-24930.html
A company that was the cheerleader of the open web is rapidly turning its back on every single open standard they once championned. Their latest move, announced yesterday at Google I/O, appears to be closing XMPP server-to-server federation.
It is only a natural next step in a process started a while ago. Here is a quick, and probably not exhaustive recap:
- Google+ has no open RSS output, hence no PuSH support, no write API, in fact it has absolutely nothing open
- Google Reader is scrapped, along with RSS support within Chrome
- WebDav for Google Calendar is dropped in favor of their proprietary API
- XMPP is dropped, while 3 years ago it was at the core of their Wave efforts
If they continue with this trend, then why not drop support for SMTP (and thus email federation)? When @aaronparecki.composted the following picture a few months ago, I smiled. Today I wonder if this could actually ever happen.
This is what email would have looked like if it were invented in the Web 2.0 era. By aaronparecki.com
The good news is, we do not need Google to build the open web for us. We are developpers, and hacking the future is what we do best. So, time to wake up and start building alternatives. For those interested, the following movements are worth a look:
And beyond these movements, a lot of really cool open source projects which can become real alternatives to some of the Google monopolies.
Don't hesitate to comment, share your thoughts, or a link to an open project you are working on.

Doesn't this already exist? There are plenty of people who hover around me and tell me I'm wrong all the time...

Lovely example of why so much security advice is rearranging the proverbial deck chairs. The model for the future is privilege separation within an account – a la Apple's sand boxing – but even that is woefully inadequate until, say, compromising your browser on your favorite l0lcat site doesn't let an attacker reuse your banking credentials.

I used to be a Google fan. I must have tried most of their services as early as possible.
But lately, they are pushing towards a version of the WWW that I don’t like. A WWW where things only happen if you use the “right” browser, where URLs are second class web citizens, where you have to have a Google account, you have to have Google+ enabled, you must be logged in and you have to notify Google of your every move and then Google decides what goes and what not.
Take for example their latest Google+ chrome extension feature.
The idea is not bad, I’m a Google+ user (maybe I won’t be for long), it could be handy.
But...
Come on, Google, seriously? The only way to do this, is making my browser send the URL of every single page I visit to your servers?
A couple of years ago, they would have suggested something like the webaster added an HTML meta tag to my web pages indicating the coresponding Google+ page, so that any plugin could let me “subscribe” to the second. This is how we have been doing automatic feed discovery for years now.
You know, Google, the web already had this feature.
My personal stream was my RSS feed, you want me to replace it with a Google+ profile. My news aggregator was the RSS aggregator of my choice, you want me to use a semi-read-only version called Google+. My browser would auto-discover the stream related to any page I visited and would allow me to subscribe to it, now you want me to use a Google+ chrome plugin which in addition kills my privacy.
Everyting worked quite well, and you could pick our side and help us make it better -that’s what you’d do back in the “don’t be evil” days.
Oh, right, I forgot: You killed RSS auto-discovery in chrome, Google reader is dead, and Feedburner is a living dead. I get it.
