Tim O'Reilly's Emerging Technology keynote

Here're my running notes from Tim O'Reilly's opening keynote at the O'Reilly Emerging Technology Conference in San Diego.

What's on the radar now?

* Amazon Hacks, Google Hacks, eBay Hacks, Spidering Hacks, etc

* You might think you're not a Linux user, but if you use Google, you use Linux. What you use isn't (just) what's on your desk

* The Internet is the platform

* Killer apps are built on OSS, but aren't themselves OSS — like Google and Amazon

* User contributions are critical to market dominance: Listmania in AMZN search-results (BN.com doesn't have this — and it shows, and they have 1/10 the market of AMZN)

* MSN maps are really cool and useful, but there's no collab element, just blinking banners that appear to be saying "Go away user, go away"
