The Internet is a buzzin. Scoble has the scoop. Microsoft relents under pressure? Smart Tags to become a feature of the Web intead of a flow-builder for Microsoft? The proof is in the "gallery". I'd still like to see the feature be an opt-in thing for websites. We might even try it on one or two of our sites to see how it works, but not with our main editorial pages, and certainly not with our store. Having to do a fire-drill to turn off a feature we never wanted is humbling. We're lucky because most of our sites are content-managed. Most site owners don't yet understand what this is about. If it's true this came as a surprise to Microsoft, it's time for a reality-check, talk with some web developers. There's a big disconnect. Giving the benefit of the doubt. I'll post more in a follow-up on the Decentralization list, tomorrow, because.. I'm still sick! Missed a party tonight. I'm bored out of my mind. Trying to stay out of trouble. Reading Player Piano. Drinking lotsa fluids. Wishing I was healthy.  Hey I read Kevin Werbach's report on weblogs in the Release 1.0 newsletter. Nice. It would be great if this piece, of all, were on the Web so the bloggers could read it. Peterme writes about the "Winerization" of Evan Williams. If my grandfather, Baruch Winer, could just see that. (He died in the 80s.) Hey it would be great if Peterme would get a little Winerizing himself. (My kid brother's name is Peter, btw, I can't take people named Peter seriously. It's in my ROM.) Last night I was talking with Sheila about the visions our ancestors had for us. My grandfather sent me extra money when I was starting my first company and in a deep financial hole. My parents didn't know about it. (Now they do, happy Father's Day!) My mom was worried I'd turn into a bum. (Like my uncles and her uncle, an eclectic but respected German novelist, who my grandmother thought was a bum.) Both my grandfathers had a vision for the family, and I was the one starting a business, so they pitched in and helped. Both of them were business guys. So while I have a funny last name (yeah I know, it's been my last name all my life) saying that Evan is Winerizing is good news for Evan. Why not? One thing us Winers have in common is good ideas. If I do say so myself. And some kind of an idea about business. Cameron Laird: Using PySOAP. Don't miss the Official ICANN Movie. Mark Nottingham: "xpath2rss is Yet Another HTML->RSS scraper. This one's different in that instead of using regular expressions, as most do, it uses XPATH." On this day last year, a howto on settling the Microsoft case. "It would be unfair for the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court to overturn the decision. To ignore it would leave the software and Internet industry at the mercy of Microsoft. They are a large company, but they're just one company, and the Internet is about more than companies, it's about free expression for individuals and other forms of human organization, that transcend the well-known limits of corporations."
