Link: ResourceShelf � The Word “Mashup” Key to Newly Registered Google Domain Names.
Google is busy buying domain names that include "search & mashup". While this could be a "head fake" or just planning for a "somewhat distant future", I seriously doubt it. The "Web as OS meme" has been gathering traction ever since O'Reilly coined the Web 2.0 moniker and the hype machine went into a "full court press"--however, while what we have seen to date could be called "interesting" (some might say "cute"), we have yet to see significant signs of a "platform" that is maturing. It is my sense that this is all about to change!













Carlos:
See today's Futurelawyer post on Google's new search engine, searchmash. I think you are on to something.
