By the end of the year, Google will come out with a product that allows me to share my contacts with my co workers. That’s my prediction.

Quark is having an identity crisis. Read this article on Speak Up, then check out the Quark web site and also Scottish Arts (a cool site in its own right). I threw in the Safeway logo just because they also recently refined it and well now is a perfect time to mention it.

I think that with the emergence of Joyent’s slingshot http://joyeur.com/2007/03/22/joyent-slingshot and similar capabilities for php and python, Google’s next move is to the desktop.
