   You can break an open protocol by adding proprietary enhancements on top of it.

   Google does that with calendar. Apple does that with SMS.

   The goal is to punish outsiders and lock you in.

     @nonlinear Embrace, extend, and extinguish. The Microsoft rule book.

     @derek oh it is. Event and calendar subscription.

     What google added was invite friends see availability, notifications. They made a social network off it. But only if Gmail.

     @nonlinear I didn't know calendar was an open protocol.
