Big Opportunities:

1) web 2.0 in enterprise; "turning themselves inside out"
2) web 2.0 evolving into cloud computing
3) ambient computing (mobile phones and ubiquitous sensors)

- 1) enterprise
  
  e.g. dell ideastorm
  
  real time user facing services based on data from customers -- your bank doesn't give u this, but google does
  
  finding meaning in that data
  
  google pagerank = meaning hidden in links (link is a vote)
  
  other areas where "there is hidden meaning in enterprise data"
  
  wesabe -- how people spend their money is a vote (nb: Tim noted he is an investor)
  
  eg merchant pages give people collective intelligence about spending
- 3) mobile / ambient
  
  software above the level of a single device. So mobile does not equal the phone. He talks about Microsoft Live Mesh, noting that it is currently only Windows - but he's waiting to hear from Microsoft on its future.
- 3 more annotations...
- - Ambient computing; "web 2.0 not something we interact with on a laptop, it is all around us."
  - Tim urges us to "not follow the headlines" and the hot things, but go after "big, hard problems".
  - His main message is to tackle big hard problems, with web 2.0. Make a difference.
