Deepfish!

Deepfish is a a technology preview unveiled by Microsoft Live labs. What Windows 3.1 did to personal computing, what Google did to search, what walkman and Ipod did to music,  Deepfish is going to do to mobile browsing.

Well may be I got a bit carried away here. But I am very impressed by the concept. I am sure the implementation was equally challenging.

Almost every mobile/Microsoft blog or news site is talking about it. I am not going to repeat it. But I had to blog about it. 

Long thinks its a blessing and concern, but the coolest thing to ever come to internet on mobile phones.

Nathan is shocked at how responsive the app is, letting you zoom instantly…

LiveSide reminds that Deepfish is a prototype technology with limited number of downloads which has already been reached….

Mind blowing

We get lost in our little lives given a lot of importance to well small things. And something like this comes by and you get reminded of your place in the universe.

As Andybhai says, this is indeed humbling.
