Why if you miss Siri you’ll miss the future of the Web

Why if you miss Siri you’ll miss the future of the Web
Siri is the most useful thing I’ve seen so far this year. But after playing with it, getting an interview with its CEO (video here on building43) it’s even more important for you to pay attention to. It is the best example of what the web will be. Let’s go back. Web 1994 was the “get me a domain and a page” era. Web 2000 was the “make my page(s) interactive and put people on it” era. Siri is the best example. Why is it so different? Because on the back end they’ve stitched together a sizeable group of APIs from services like Opentable to Flightstats. Before it was common only for a couple of APIs to be joined together, here they have dozens. That’s the other thing. Why is this really new and important? No, the real secret sauce and huge impact on the future of the web is in the back end of this thing. I just asked Siri “who checked into the Half Moon Bay Ritz?” But the team now could hook up Foursquare’s APIs and make this question answerable. This is the future of the web.

Siri And The iPhone’s Physical Keyboard The backlash was inevitable. Siri has had a bit of an image problem this past week. Just like all technology propelled by the tailwinds of hype, it hit the inevitable wall of tech punditry. First of all, the downtime issue is a total red herring. That’s why stories demanding an explanation for Siri’s downtime are comical. The more interesting angle of the backlash goes after what Siri is and what Siri is not. Yet. Again, see: beta. The key is when Jordan also complains that she can often type faster than Siri can think. Now all of those people seem to happily be using iPhones (or Android phones) without physical keyboards without problems. What Siri represents is an extension of computing by utilizing something that (most) everyone has: voice. Everyone is amazed now when they see children interact with the iPad in such a natural way. But we’re not there yet. But maybe it’s hard to blame them. Does that mean speech replaces text input entirely? [image: CBS]
