Openomy as a tipping point?
I realize I haven't yet explained what Openomy is going to be, but I don't want to be classified as vaporware, so for now I'm keeping mum. It certainly won't be a stealth startup, though.
Still, I thought I'd write a little about why I think Openomy will be successful.
Openomy's success in the broad market will be heavily dependent, I think, on whether or not it's too early to market. It remains to be seen whether the average user is ready for this new technology. I believe that amongst techies (like myself) Openomy is definitely not early and the market is ready for it. Many things have been happening lately within the consumer internet sector, and development practices are definitely changing. You don't have to look any further than places like Robot Co-op, 37Signals, or Flickr to see what I'm talking about. Technologies are changing and peoples wants and expectations are as well.
One thing I've been thinking about lately is how Openomy, as it will (hopefully) be bringing together a lot of these changes, is whether or not it has the potential to create a tipping point. Obviously I think it'd be awesome if it does, but that's a pretty striking claim and seeing how I haven't told more than 2 people about the idea so far all I know is 3 people find it cool. It's definitely not a claim I'm willing to put any money on.
Either way, I'm really excited to launch it, even if it's just to see if it's technically feasible. It's really quite possible that it's before its time, but I guess there's only one way to find out. As I'm getting closer to a working prototype I'll start explaining it in more detail.

Hi Iseeff
First let me say, the app is way cool. I already signed up for it.
There is always going to be a fundamental concern for people to accept a service such as this; Security. Just as business models evolve (we have seen a transformation from Microsoft's bundling vs google's free app approach) for services such as this to be really accepted, the thinking of users who will use the service needs to evolve. I am all ready to write a script that will make file/save on my PC link to openomy, but will many out there be willing to move away from their comfort zone and begin storing sensitve data on an online disk ? Time will tell.
But, I believe this is really going to be an excellent app.
Sunil.
