The article is right about the fact that the upheaval is going to come faster and be larger than most people have contemplated, and we have no idea how it’s going to play out beyond the fact that there’s going to be a lot less jobs, and we aren’t just talking about blue collar jobs either.

Honestly, I think we all know where this is coming from, and it’s gross. It’s also harmful to your business. You don’t recruit and retain the most talented employees by limiting your choices.

It’s not clear who all of the competitors are, the rules change and there’s no one “score” that everyone has agreed upon. Maybe most importantly, it doesn’t end at the allocated time, it goes on and on with some of the competitors giving up over time and dropping out of the game.
The problem Simon identifies is that when the game is infinite, but you play it as if it were finite, you end up in a quagmire.
Here’s a good question regarding Trillian from Mumble Daily : If it can handle some connections through a proxy server and others not that’ll be real cool. We’ll see, though, how flexible it is.
