Interesting...
Mozilla and Yahoo would make a good strategy, considering Google/Mozilla relationship has cooled in recent years.
I like your Github/Meteor suggestion as well, albeit unlikely that either of those companies would take money or influence from Yahoo.
Also don't think Marissa Mayer has the vision for these sort of changes, although hope I'm wrong on this.
- shykes 14y agoYahoo already has a real-time javascript framework of its own: http://developer.yahoo.com/cocktails/mojito/ http://developer.yahoo.com/cocktails/mojito/
- wamatt 14y agoYeah. The point was more about mindshare and not just tech. "X has an image problem." where X can be any tech from an uncool company, even if it is fundamentally decent.
- shykes 14y agoI understand your point, but mindshare can be difficult to evaluate. Do you actually know how popular Mojito is? I certainly have noticed the popularity of Meteor - and unpopularity of Mojito - on HN, but how does that translate to the general population of developers?
- wamatt 14y agoIndeed. Sentiment analysis is a problem. I think there are some companies working. It is a real phenomenon, but just hard to access empirical quantified data at the moment. As a quick measure I use things like Google Insights, compete.com, Github presence / stats etc.
