Marc Canter traces the path of a GooGle LockIn-via-API (GData) strategy. Chris Messina writes In simplest terms, with the state we're in with centralized authentication in web applications, it's like waiting for Micro Soft and Apple Computer to strike a deal enabling you to copy and paste from Appleworks to Word.
Robert Scoble notes that GooGle isn't joining the conversation (in the BlogWeb), which is dangerous when this kind of issue comes up. A commenter notes that they communicate via other media like UseNet/Google Groups.
