Gillis seemed to be different, not just a fill of space, she seemed to have sources at Microsoft, and had the guts to write stories that weren't as cleansed and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=vacuous&quot;&gt;vacuous&lt;/a&gt; as most of the crap written by the Big's.

When it started it had a minimalist approach. The home page was stark and fast, in contrast to the jumbles that the early search engines were turning into. That made a strong statement. I liked it. When they hired a CEO, an exec who had presided over the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.craigburton.com/2002/02/26&quot;&gt;demise&lt;/a&gt; of Novell, I started watching for what I feared was coming -- that Google would become just another diluted and inanely-run Silicon Valley company. Maybe Google-the-Company was never that good, it's hard to know, but Google-the-Search-Engine was and is perfect. As long as they don't screw with that I'm happy, I guess. But truth be told, I wanted them to be more like the Web, not less. I feel the same way about &lt;a href=&quot;http://toolbar.google.com/dc/faq_dc.html&quot;&gt;Google Compute&lt;/a&gt; as I did when Amazon went from being the Earth's Largest Bookstore, to being Earth's Largest Everything, and then (of course) Nothing Interesting At All." created="Thu, 28 Feb 2002 23:44:14 GMT"/>

Why did you focus so much attention on the browser wars, the Java wars, etc, and not focus on what people were doing with the Web?

			<outline text="Sorry this week I've been heads-down on a big project. We're working with some new partners on new ways to use and sell Radio. Some great ideas flowing in all directions. Not everyone knows everyone else, but if any of it comes to fruition there are going to be a lot more Radio users soon. &quot;A nice problem to have,&quot; you might think, and I agree, but -- to turn the next corner, we have to package the cloud-side of Radio, so that other organizations can run their own communities. To do that we have to bootstrap a new community, so we can test the software. Corner-turns and bootstraps are the hardest things about what we do. But that's my job now, and it has been for the last three weeks, and probably will be my job for the next couple of months. " created="Thu, 28 Feb 2002 16:08:19 GMT"/>

			<outline text="Radio is our desktop product, it includes weblogging software, a news aggregator, and features that put a friendly face on XML-based services over the Internet. Radio is designed for people, the same way personal computers took the essential capabilities of a mainframe computer and made it easy to use, for people. " created="Thu, 28 Feb 2002 16:16:22 GMT"/>

It's centralized. It includes Manila, a deep and powerful browser-based content management system. Where Radio is designed for individuals, Frontier is designed for communities and organizations, workgroups -- groups of people. Like Radio it's a programming environment, the two products are very compatible. Scripts written for one environment usually run well in the other. The knowledge you gain scripting Radio can be applied in bigger ways on the mainframe." created="Thu, 28 Feb 2002 16:17:15 GMT"/>
			<outline text="The difference are what apps ship with each product. Frontier is configured to serve lots of users. Radio is configured to serve one user. Frontier is $899. Radio is $39.95. " created="Thu, 28 Feb 2002 16:18:27 GMT"/>
