I don’t own a netbook but if/when I do. I’m putting jolicloud on it. It’s exactly what I imagine when someone says netbook: a netbook is a stateless window into the internet.

Everything in jolicloud runs fullscreen and there’s no browser. You install webapps with a single click and they run as if they are desktop apps. Maybe this sounds backwards but it’s seamless and transparent where or how you are working. You just work on the cloud. People see your install / removes as social events so you can possibly see what’s cool and new with people you trust or know.

I like the netbook as an AUX device. Something off to the side, like a taskbar or dock icon on steroids. Big ass growl event messages would rock too.

Jolicloud isn’t out of alpha yet. Until then, I guess there’s only the ubuntu netbook remix that it’s based on.

Also, zero hits for better than jolicloud on google. I’ll be the only one with a false hit. Sorry. Googling “better than whatever” with quotes on google is something I swear by. Nothing sifts out opinion and uncovers new ideas faster. Nobody start exploiting it with fake “better than [product | brand]” bot sites goddamn it.
