Will Web 2.0 stifle small developers?
Your 'Welcome to the webtop' article was very interesting! I was speculating how this development might affect the individual programmer, as opposed to companies.
Currently, the individual programmer can write software which makes an impact (e.g. IrfanView, and the early PaintShop Pro). However, if there is a move to webtop apps (which might need masses of space for user files) then it might become impractical for individuals with talent (and no
startup money) to make an impact.
What is needed is a type of site which hosts masses of webtop apps and also provides space for them to run. In a sense this is the next step on from shareware download sites. I'm waiting...
