The second bit of news making the rounds on the wire and in the blogsphere is the possible release of GDrive or MyStuff, whichever Google brands it… Google is preparing its online storage system for the masses. Microsoft is a bit ahead of the game with the Windows Live Skydrive which is aimed at the home user while Amazon has their enterprise level S3 system, which is a system they have built for the developers of the world. Google apparently plans to attack with a completely browser based solution. I can foresee some issues with this service: it is reportedly a subscription based service, and most of us are used to free services from Google with ad supported business models, where do we draw the line in the enterprise when it comes to a service such as this where clearly an employee can simply upload and and all documents they might wish, and lastly this is obviously where the network is headed, distributed operating systems with distributed data storage; so how do we deal with this new paradigm?

The interesting Website of the day is: PoliticalBase.com — As we head in to the heart of the political season here in America take a look at this site. It acts as an aggregator of all political news, events and commentary while forming a large community for politically minded people from all across the US. Much like the Wikipedia anyone can edit any page and then editors decide to post or decline the edits. PoliticalBase.com can also notify you when news breaks about any topic, including your favorite candidate.
