Chris Messina: “I’m going to talk about six topics: What is Unite?, The Marketing Pitch, Why isn’t Opera open source?, Is Unite really decentralized?, Owning Your Namespace, Unite & Activity Streams – Okay, so I shit all over Opera Unite, but you can’t come out and promise all kinds of world-changing, freedom-enhancing goodness and then not deliver! – worse, to do so when their newest competitor (Google!) is schooling everyone with the perfect example of how to do it right (see: Wave). … I’ll give Opera some credit – both for using Activity Streams instead of inventing their own protocol – and also for launching a fairly polished demonstration of Unite concept as an alpha. If they really want to offer transformative technologies, though, I think it’s critical that they align their business policies with their marketing rhetoric and technological objectives, down to the code level. Anything less will result in confusion and worse, more posts like this one!”
