I had an interesting conversation this morning with Diana Reichardt about the new non-article on Sun.com's home page. This is a simple link to what started as a blank blog with an opening question and lets the rest be filled in through the comments of those that come to the page.

With the O'Reilly Web 2.0 Conference going on this week in San Francisco, she decided to just open up a blog and allow people to provide their input on “Where is Web 2.0”. There was a conscious effort not to name this “What”, or “Why”.

Now you can argue if a blog is the right place to start a conversation or to present open viewpoints from random visitors to the web site (it seems to be working so far), but you have to applaud the attempt to bring interactive exchange to the sun.com web site. It's about time someone broke the glass ceiling and started trying new things on this site.

Hats off to Diana!

I look forward to more creative and forward thinking ideas from the sun.com team.
