The Gillmor Gang ? Dan Farber, Robert Scoble, John Taschek, Kevin Marks, and Steve Gillmor ? welcomed CBS News Online editor in chief Dan Farber back to the West Coast and the comfort of the Gang clubhouse. Dan was one of the Gang's earliest members, gracing the IT Conversations podcast number 2 or 3 or so. Now, as the Web gets overrun by a sea of apps, as @scobleizer autofilters the firehose in realtime, as we go 15 minutes before we realize @jtaschek hasn't moved a muscle (locked up), as the networks desperately stonewall live to iPad, the Gang feels like fun. I've been saying Office is dead for years; it's blindingly obvious. I like Word, using it to write this post. As we point out, collaboration is almost here as Redmond copies Google and the Sinofski fans in the chat room say social is coming in Office 15. But social is already here, and it's going to be hard to sell the inevitability of cloud just when it's already so obvious. I've kept the pro-Salesforce chatter (cough) at a low boil for as long as I can. See you on the funway.
