The scoop on Buzzword, the first web-based word processor


Three years ago in October 2004, I was on the O'Reilly Media campus and the proverbial light bulb clicked on. Tim O'Reilly was in front of the group and he was rolling out his Web 2.0 spiel. I'd heard him do it once before, but this time a key phrase grabbed my attention: platform shift.

I have been in the software industry since the 1970s. In fact, in the '80s I was responsible for managing Lotus Manuscript, a DOS word processing product. I have also been an English teacher, writer, and bookstore owner.
