Has the WebOS Finally Arrived?

SphereOfInfluence writes "Dion Hinchcliffe over on ZDNet declared in a new post that the Web OS has finally arrived and that businesses and IT departments must adjust to the fact that everything's starting to move to the cloud. He cites John Hagel's so-called big business shifts of the 21st century and claims cloud computing, crowdsourcing, open APIs, Software-as-a-Service are the future of the workplace. He goes on to present a compelling visual model of the Web OS circa 2009 and examples to back up some of the statements."

I really wish people would stop "Declaring" things

"Dion Hinchcliffe over on ZDNet declared".

This pisses me off to no end. I suppose it works because saying that you declare something as nebulous as WebOs arriving sounds more important than "My opinion is such that...".

The worst of the worst is Arrington, as well as TechCrunch in general. If I recall correctly, Arrington declared both voicemail and email to be dead, Dead, DEAD!!! Really asshole? I use both every single day in a very efficient manner. In the future please just say "I don't like these things" instead of declaring them to be dead. Maybe I'll go write a blog post with the title "I declare Mike Arrington to be dead".

Just recently TechCrunch did the same for RSS, which is funny because RSS is how I arrived at this article, as well as the one for TechCrunch. I assumed they meant they didn't want me as a subscriber to their RSS feed, so I rectified the situation. Can't believe I ever read that shithole site.

In the future if an article declares something to be so, I'll declare that it is a shitty article.
