Just talked with Matt Mullenweg. We're both going to BarCamp tonight in Palo Alto. I want to talk with Matt about doing an API between the OPML Editor and WordPress. He asked if that would just be the Metaweblog API, and I said, yes, it could be that, but that doesn't capture all the data that's in an OPML doc. I think we should look at doing an open API between these two GPL programs.  

What Rex Said: "RSS is underhyped." 

I snuck into the Blog Business Summit in San Francisco, we're getting a demo of Movable Type 3.2.  

Bela Labovitch: "This is an early version of a search engine that exclusively maintains and searches OPML files." 

At lunch today with Scoble and Dean Hachamovitch we spotted Steve Jobs leaving the restaurant. We all went out and shook his hand. Don't think he knew who I was. He was giving Dean shit about how they were copying all their features in IE7. It was fun!! Didn't get a picture, unfortunately.  

Tod Maffin: "In my day job I'm a producer with CBC Radio. About 5000 of us were locked out Monday because of a labour dispute. I thought you'd be interested to know that I've set up a place for listeners to, essentially, still listen to their favourite shows even though they're not on the air."

Om Malik: "Philadelphia is inching towards realizing its WiFi dream." 

I'm reminded of this piece written by Julie about my Pisa podcast.  

Kevin Newman: "It is true that coffee that is roasted for a shorter time to a lighter color has more caffeine than coffee roasted longer." 

David Czarnecki: "That's about the best software/platform misspelling mashup I've seen yet."
