My last post was about my recent talk where I try to highlight how iTunes is able to work its instant-sharing magic - by using ZeroConf. Today Walt Mossberg, the most influential tech writer around, chose to highlight this very thing in his must-read Personal Technology column called "You're Using iTunes, But Are You Missing Some of the Fun?"

So to paraphrase Mr. Mossberg:

"You're using the library and the network, but you're missing some of the fun."

Thanks to inkdroid I've been nursing a geek crush on ZeroConf for over a year. Its time might just be now.

(If, after reading the WSJ piece, you want to know more about ways ZeroConf could be used in libraries, just follow the tag. I just hope it grows more coherent as you move forward in time.)
