Cozi is nice, but it doesn’t presently have any access to recipes or way to plan meals or analyze nutritional content.

BigOven.com (http://www.bigoven.com) is a social network about food, with 160,000+ recipes that you can search in a variety of ways. Enter a few ingredients from your fridge and find out what to make tonight. Or drag and drop recipes onto a shopping list to create a grocery list, ordered by aisle. Or, drop them onto a calendar to create a meal plan for the next week or month. When you’re ready, generate a grocery list from that plan. You can also post recipes in a single click to the shared recipe archive, create a “Try Soon” list online, get RSS feeds from your favorite online cooks, and much more. Check it out at http://www.bigoven.com.

I want to call your attention to Cozi Central, which is already delivering on what MSFT says it wants to do! Cozi.com already has thousands of happy families using Cozi Central to organize their family’s schedule through a color-coded-by-person calendar that syncs with Outlook, a shopping list feature that can be text’d to your cell phone or read to you on cell while you’re standing in the freezer section at the grocery store, and enables you to send notes and reminders via SMS to tell your spouse that Johnny is at baseball practice and needs to be picked up.

HP already has a product like this. It’s called the HP Touchsmart PC. It was released at CES this year and already has much of the functionality Microsoft is talking about introducing….

Great post on this the other day at Digital Daily which references the old Honeywell Kitchen Computer from 1969.

I wonder if they would be interested in buying the different components or developing on their own. One site that is perfect for what they plan on doing (computerizing the kitchen) is RecipeMatcher (www.recipematcher.com)

Microsoft has missed their chance here. They should have pushed an Outlook Express-simple version of hosted Exchange 5 years ago for very small businesses. Families would have used it to coordinate schedules and task lists, share information, etc.

Now the company is just too confused to pull it off (renaming Hotmail Windows Live Mail, then calling their Outlook Express client the same thing…), and people are confident enough in search engines that they probably aren’t looking for an integrated home solution.

I remember when Microsoft Wine and Microsoft Dogs came out as multimedia CD’s. The company lost a lot on those, and looks ready to repeat the exercise with a kitchen effort.

One of these days we’ll be saying “I wish I could take this damn coffee table, toaster, TV box, game console, and all those other gadgets and compact them all into one 5lb., fliptop unit that I can take to the starbucks with me… like back in the old days.”

3Com did this years ago with the Audry. Web browsing, shared notes and calendar (sync w/ multiple Palm devices), recipes, etc.

the interface was great, the form factor was terrific for a kitchen. the large, touchscreen was a perfect interface. but they charged too much for it, esp for their ambivalent target audience (who didn’t know they needed such a device).

this is definitely a hardware / software play: a slick os isn’t going to do it without equal hardware.

and the target demographic may not yet be much less ambivalent about needing this …

Whether this is misguided or not remains to be seen, but the fact is, ubiquitous computing is going to be a major play over the next decade. Surface computing is just one aspect of this. We’ve got the network; whoever manages to leverage it into major but as-yet-untouched parts of our lives in a *useful* way is going to walk away with a ton of cash and a market pretty much to themselves. Think Apple and the iPod.

Device singularity has a part to play in this. You may scoff at the idea of an Internet fridge, but how many of you have a radio in your kitchen?

This post is really asking for it…
The microsoft kitchen is just the tip of the iceberg, I have seen secret plans of the Microsoft Digital House Initiative, and it blowed my mind
They have there a Microsoft Bed 2.0 that let you share everything with your friends, but usually crashes just before you climax…
It comes in a package deal with the Microsoft Shower Express, that streams your water like real broadband, but still can’t stop spam from coming out of the tap…
I can go like this all day, but i better get back to writing simple,Not-so-advanced web sites that people actually use…

X-box aside (and the success of that is highly questionable given that fact that they’re burning through money with no signs of profit), Microsoft just doesn’t do consumer platforms well. I can’t wait until your toaster gets compromised and becomes part of a local bot net that’s running a DOS attack on your fridge.

Dark kitchen, 2 a.m.

Man enters, stage left. He wobbles slightly, a wild look in his reddened eyes as the kitchen powers up (over several minutes)

“What are you doing, Dave? Your calorific input for the day has already passed 5,000 kcal”

“…must have munchies..”

“I’m afraid I can’t let you do that, Dave”

“…toasted sandwiches, fried mars bars, cheese…must eat…”

“I’m sorry Dave, I’m going to have to turn off the sandwich toaster”

Crash, clunk, blue screen as fork is forced into motherboard. The End.
