Don't think it's some surprise and remember where you heard it first.

C'mon, neuron -- the web-as-platform and Google OS talk has been going around for quite some time. Battelle's been chatting it up for quite a while. Richard Skrenta published a great piece on it a month or two ago, and Kottke has posted on it, too.

It's great stuff, and anyone interested in learning more about it may want to know that a "Web 2.0" conference is being planned for further discussion.
