@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] So the corps have officially started the “Embrace” stage and are planning the “Extend” one. Good to know at least this time is being done in the open.
@cygnathreadbare @Flipboard @Gargron @mmasnick @quillmatiq @Sarahp This comes up so often. I wonder if there is any good historical documentation for the strategy of dealing with “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” …? I think the famous example of Microsoft’s embrace of the web, and extension via ActiveX and other proprietary features, was headed off by vigorous defense of open standards by @tantek.com , Molly Holschlag, others in the Web Standards group. https://www.webstandards.org/

I don’t know if it would have made sense to prevent Microsoft from “embracing” the Web; we would have lost a lot of people and utility to the whole ecosystem.
