Hi Jimbo,

I am best known as the author of a simple open source framework called
Prevayler. It inspired the technology behind Freebase.

Two friends of mine, who saw you on Brazil's show "Roda Viva" last
night, tell me you are taking on Google and that I should talk to you.

I am taking on the web and Google is a casualty. I lead a team working
on a sovereign computing* platform, which can already be demo'd.

I like your attitude from what I read (Objectivism and all) and you
obviously have a lot of clout.

I believe, though, that my sovereign computing* approach is likely to
succeed whereas your walled-garden approach is not.

I hope you can leapfrog the innovator's dilemma you will face because
of Wikipedia and Wikia.

Let's move on?

See you, Klaus.
