Demir Barlas points out that Yahoo's acquisition of Konfabulator signals their intent to continue competing for control of the desktop. Currently, some of the cool tools offered by this company include desktop RSS aggregation, a desktop tool that will let you check GMail, and more.
Barlas notes astutely that "Yahoo and Google penetrate businesses, particularly small businesses, from below, since their tools are typically adopted by individual users who retain Yahoo- and Google-based habits and preferences and carry them to work."
Do you suppose the acquisition means they'll put the kibosh on that GMail-checking tool?
