Your Not On A Fucking Plane

Great post by 37 signals.

The integration between the desktop and the Web is an interesting debate. I see it a bit differently. The desire many companies have to be all things to all people all the time is just stupid. We can't have the full featured 24/7 on our desktop and alternatively, most of us are not going to put all of our content and stuff into the Web cloud and get rid of our computers all together.

It will all depend. What value equation is the desktop/web solution giving us vs. the web only one?

A reminder from Wikipedia as to what disruptive technology is all about because I think the answer lies somewhere in there:

"...Christensen distinguishes between "low-end disruption" which targets customers who do not need the full performance valued by customers at the high-end of the market and "new-market disruption" which targets customers who could previously not be served profitably by the incumbent."
