Interview: Michael Osterman
Posted by Stowe Boyd
I had the chance (at long last) to interview Michael Osterman, of Osterman Research, on the recent market moves by consumer IM giants Yahoo and AOL.
I was happily surprised to hear Mike thought that convergence in the consumer and enterprise spaces is likely within 2-3 years.
It's astonishing to me that the Federal government can continue to allow the Internet giants to *not* support any notion of interoperability. But I guess we shouldn't worry. It's only a few more years before something happens. Sigh.
But Mike's insights on the naturalness of Yahoo and AOL moves *away* from the enterprise market are very interesting, indeed.
[By the way, this is the second of my "IM Interviews" using the Flash SWF technology developed by the guys at 2entwine for the Gush IM solution]

First, thank you for sharing your interview. Second, embedding via 2entwine is very interesting in addition to conducting the interview via IM.
And last, would you consider blogging about the current state of the standardS (ie; SIP/SIMPLE, XMPP)....where they are, what effect having TWO standards has, etc.?
