Essay: If the Democrats Could Blog.  Jim Moore: "The Clark imbroglio continues." Political Wire: "Kerry's campaign also appears to be in turmoil." Dowbrigade pic of bloggers with Macs. "Ax of choice." When asking for technical help provide at least the following three bits of info. 1. I did this. 2. I expected this to happen. 3. This is what actually happened. Dorothy: "What would you do with a brain if you had one?" A slightly different question. Jay Rosen remembers Neil Postman. "He was expert in nothing. Therefore nothing was off limits." Rogers Cadenhead: "While doing research on Java implementations of the xmlStorageSystem API, the backbone of Radio UserLand web hosting, I found something unusual: Full support for the API in a commercial server product." Don't forget to check out Harvard's Sex Tutorial Weblog, for a refresher course. Greenspun: "Anyone who can afford to charter a $2 million, $1000/hour helicopter ought to be someone with, if not a lot of friends, at least a lot of dependants." Timothy Appnel: "Is Ben wasting his time trying to implement something that is stated to appear in his company's products because it could drastically change in the coming years?"

If you look at the history of RSS, and assume it predicts what Atom will go through, the answer is that Ben will have to pedal hard to keep up. If anything, because there are so many more cooks, it looks like the Atom experience will be even worse. But it's hard to predict what will happen. BTW, they have to worry not only about current implementors but future ones too. When we tried to freeze RSS 0.91, there was no Movable Type, or even Blogger. |
