@aaronpk Sweet. I talked about this with @jburrows -- I honestly believe that a voice OS evolution is going to be very important, very soon.

@skyler @jburrows I am very skeptical of voice interfaces in general, but for the limited set of things I've used it for, it's quite nice.

So far, Amazon Echo has been most useful for: 1) setting timers while cooking, 2) turning off the lights after I am in bed, 3) adding things to my grocery list.

Now that the SDK is available in beta, what kind of voice-enabled apps should I make! The prompts are somewhat limiting, basically the below with some variations:

• "Alexa, ask {app name} to {command}"
• "Alexa, launch {app name} and {command}"

Just heard a reference to "Apple News Format" during #WWDC15 ... is this some kind of alternative to HTML?
