    I'd prefer to see Google invest in the sort of browser/editor the WWW was originally supposed to run on, where (within reason and bounds, of course) every consumer can also be an editor and a content creator.

    As you say, ESKEMA, it's crazy that 20-odd years down the line, there's more of a divide between creation and consumption than there ever was.

    I was hoping something like this was what the above link would be, but I'll take a nifty HTML5 animation tool anyway...
