For those unaware, O’Reilly’s Where 2.0 conference<\/a> is currently underway. I mentioned the conference somewhere in comments a few weeks or so ago because (big surprise) 3D technology was a topic on the event schedule.<\/p>\n

This morning, while surfing through the O’Reilly Radar blog (Link)<\/a>, I caught word of Google’s new 2D technology… which is actually pretty neat. There’s nothing to download and you can find a good link on O’Reilly. Not the 3D stuff I was hoping for, but no big deal. I figure the swarmanoids<\/a> will be here soon enough.

\nMeanwhile, this evening while surfing through C|Net, I happened upon a gallery of images (Link)<\/a> showing Microsoft’s new Live Search<\/a>. I figure this is what came out of the Where conference talk by Erik Jorgensen<\/a>. The download was a little slow, but it’s not bad. At least it works in Firefox.<\/p>\n

Okay. So that’s the news. And while this is nice, what I’m actually finding interesting is what seems to be the slow, steady escalation in the race to 3D; right now mostly between the two behemoth’s, but who knows. With all the come-out-of-nowhere Web 2.0 companies shaking things up in unprecedented ways, this could still get interesting.<\/p>\n

Maybe.<\/p>\n

Either way, for some reason, today feels to me like the beginning of… something.<\/p>\n
