I find my mind wandering frequently back to WidSets.com time... partially because of sort of bitterness of lost great work and opportunities, but mostly because I am puzzled how life is filled with moments defining greater "lines" of life.
In case of WidSets, in less omnipotent Nokia management era someone might have noticed the WidSets UI paradigm as a potential future and game changer, and tried developing it into new kind of native mobile UI. Like we the founders dreamed of.
WidSets actually had it all; ~totally user controlled canvas UI, tailored applications for using different services (eg we had Facebook app when they had only few M users), push for info changes, tools for UGC, integrated appstore, in app advertising, ... all proven as correct conclusions for future mobile usage paradigm by Apple and Android...
The point? besides my obvious bitterness ;) ? The art is probably in noticing at least some of those "life line" defining moments personally, and acting according to their potential significance?

It has been nice to enjoy the fruits of growing wealth. And believe that something/many things must have been done correctly since it is so. Occasionally something penetrates to "it's all ok at least sort of"-beliefs and one notices the enormous injustices in the way wealth is distributes around the globe, how other human beings are treated for my comfort, how we treat animals and nature, how we burn are limited resources for incomprehensible stupidities.. and then you fall back to "I am sure group of influential wise women and men are working hard to make things right"-thinking. But is it so brutally straight forward that if we don't have a "war", then we always have ego-war, all just for me?
