Scoble links to Ray Ozzie’s blog about LiveClipboard and hasn’t provided any commentary of his own, other than linking to it.

I think it’s interesting, and a very cool concept. However, I don’t really see what I would use it for.

That being said, I think it’s awesome that folks are trying new things. I may not see any use for it, but the demo is very cool, and I’m just glad to see people trying new ideas and figuring out how far they can push the web.

Cures for diseases are rarely found as the result of trying to cure the disease directly. Instead, lines of inquiry into seemingly un-related areas have often resulted in stumbling upon a new discovery. The treatment of diabetes with insulin was discovered by folks who weren’t trying to treat diabetics.

This web clipboard may or may not lead to a revolution on the web, but at least some people are trying new things. You never know what they will stumble on.
