Automated crawler fetching websites and blogs from Sitecore content

Surface PCs and you

This post falls slightly (well… quite a bit, to be honest :P) off topic. But outsite the Sitecore realm of computing my eyes are very clearly focused on what I personally believe to be a big thing in the years to come; Surface Computing. Or - at least - that’s what the Microsoft term for it is.

Now I know we’re all gobsmacked about the Sitecore 6 Page Editor facilities. But try and take a look at this, and tell me (honestly) you couldn’t see technology like this implemented in a system like Sitecore.

While I’m not even at a point (yet) where I can get my hands on the Microsoft Surface SDK, I know myself well enough to realise - once this technology becomes more widely available, I won’t be able to keep my nose out of it. Don’t take that literally ;-)

Could you imagine working with the structure of your site in this manner? Organising your Sitecore Media Library? Drag-and-dropping renderings onto your layouts?

I’m rambling, I’m sure. But ideas like this is what drives great development. Anyone else? :-)
