I have been seeing an interesting trend recently, the increased merging of device and Web service.
Body Bugg is a recent example of this. You wear a device that tries to calculate how many calories you are burning, and it sends that into the Web service. Then, you, and your personal trainer can see what is going on (as you also enter what you are consuming).
You can also imagine how cars will continue to talk over the wire. I think we have just seen the beginning, and it makes me want to be able to do a FBQL query for “friends where one is a rails developer and the other is an electrical engineer” to find the next pairing ;)
