My apologies for the delayed 2007 round-up. We are already 3 months into 2008, but better late than never. 2007 has been an amazingly busy year for me, both on a personal and work front. But all ’good’ busy, which helps. So here is what all this blog saw in 2007:

IMS-Lite: My thoughts on what the market means when they say ‘we are doing IMS-Lite’
iPhone - world’s best micro-tablet? - This post was written before the iphone was launched. Like others, I had an opinion too about what the iphone would be
Web 2.0 and AJAX - Fundamentally insecure - thoughts on whether AJAX is responsible for all the insecurities that the market keeps warning us about
Why AI if you can have peer-peer intelligence? - A look at how new companies are using collective human intelligence to complement AI (ChaCha, Google Image labeller etc.)
Flash vs. AJAX for real-time communication products - opinions on which technology to use when building products that have a real-time component (voice/video)
Web 2.0 the machine is using us - a pointer to the great video by Michael Welsh and his team about how the web has evolved
Piping Hot: Are VoIP bloggers original? - A look at the great new Yahoo Pipes interface and fun things you can do with it
Burn those virtual calories - A light hearted look at how people keep forgetting optimization counts and keep circling back after bloating their code beyond belief

Lemonande 2.0 - a cartoon poking some fun at the ‘Web 2.0 hype’
BLISS - Service Interoperability - Thank heavens the IETF finally agreed to look at what it takes for standardized services for SIP
Everyone wants to be a Youtube - everyone I meet is opening up a new company that does ‘video for the community’. Yeah right. Yawn.
IMS Deployments on the rise - My thoughts on where IMS is headed and a dissection of the ‘expectation graph’ of any new technology
Wired vs. Wireless - a picture for a 1000 words. A great image that shows why wireless networking is so much harder than wired when it comes to effective algorithms
HSC Insights - A note to readers about our new IMS blog at www.hsc.com (any hey, buy our IMS reports)
License Plate reading with Google Street Views - it is surprising how much details one can see with google street views
Convering SIP presence to Web Feeds - a concept and value in converting SIP presence state to web feeds and a pointer to an IETF draft I wrote up with motivations on the same.
2010 - A year of so many promises - a light hearted stab on the fact that all analysts love quoting 2010 as a year when every potential technology reaches a “billion dollar mark”
EBay and Trust - or the lack of it. Travails of my colleague in trying to sell a laptop on ebay.
Mashups “Foo Foo sh*t for college kids” - is there any money in mashups or is it just a play-toy?
The addiction of the Blackberry - Light hearted posting on the addiction of a Blackberry
Conceptualize your startup in 1 minute - a fun play-tool to start your “Web 2.0 company” - poke at how every “dude” suddenly thinks he can start a 2.0 company
Linkedin vs Facebook - they really are different - Vertical vs. Horizontal.
