I'm applying for a product manager position and the company has asked me to describe a product or service that I think is particularly revolutionary. I chose to write about weblogs. Here's the question I was asked and how I answered it. If you have any feedback I'd love to hear it.
Question
What product or service has been brought to market in the past year or two that you think is particularly revolutionary? How does this product change and improve the consumer experience? What is particularly well-designed about this product? How could it be improved and how do you anticipate it changing/evolving in the future? How will this product change the market conditions and competitive climate in its space?

The PowerDisk Watch allows you to access and transport data securely and conveniently. A retractable, modified, USB cord is supplied with every watch and can easily be connected to any computer with a USB port. Once connected, the computer will automatically detect it as a removable drive. [The Shifty Librarian]
