Killer Apps
Thursday, Aug 31, 2000
Funny... The internet was the killer app of the computer. The web (along with email) was the killer app of the internet. eBay is one of the top ten killer apps of the web, and paypal is the killer app of eBay.

So what will Paypal's killer app be? And what was the computer the killer app of? Technology? Science?

Got loads of stuff to talk about today, but it'll have to wait until after class. I'm off to my discussion section for CS 160: User Interface Design, Prototyping, & Evaluation. I'm not in the course, but I'm trying like mad to get in. As a senior who needs the course to graduate and considering that HCI was the reason I came back to school, I'm pretty screwed if I can't make it in... Plus, I have a project I'm jonsing to do in the class. A really cool augmentation of Blogger's feature set.

Anyhow, as I said, updates to follow. Weekend's almost here...
