Remember PointCast? The PointCast Network used push technology to send information to a users computer and received enormous press coverage in the mid 90s. However, it's making a resurgence, though not as "PointCast."
The Apple OS X Dashboard widgets remind me of PointCast. There are significant differences between widgets and PointCast, but the underlying meaning is the same... separate applications that push data to the end user after the initial request.
Are we going to see a resurgence of the PointCast Network?
