We really need that next great step in handheld computing power. As fond as I am of my blackberry, and my iPhone buds are hooked on their device we're still not there yet.

But it does look to wrap in some components that make it valuable for your close circle of family and friends. As Facebook and Twitter get bigger and bigger, that's what's missing: a way to communicate effectively with a smaller group that takes advantage of new tech like location. The best scenario, perhaps, is if Vine could work as an overlay for my Facebook and Twitter communities. Who wants to re-build a community? If Microsoft can solve the 'lazy' problem, it's a huge step forward. I agree, Brian, I don’t think it’ll fly on the emergency angle alone.

While on the surface trillian seemed like a good idea it often was a major pain in ass, especially when one system was updated and suddenly your trillian software wouldn't support yahoo, or AIM, or whomever. I don't see emergency preparedness as a big selling point Sounds like an effort at a trillian style app for social networking.

I'm curious why they are positioning it as a tool to stay connected in a crisis, when it seems like this could be just as useful in everyday life. Maybe its their strategy for breaking through the noise and differentiating in a crowded marketplace. In any case, I look forward to testing it when it becomes available.
