Yesterday's rollout of BonBonWeb was a great success. I think we have actually launched a new genre of the web, based on the original web before it was taken over by the silos. Everyone loves Markdown, which was not news to me. It's so simple you can't hide any michegas. And it gives writers control of the things we want control of, without miring us in the details of CSS. And then expert web designers can create stylesheets that work for us, and we will make it easy to add those to your BonBon, and presumably our competitors will do the same. Because I'm doing the initial implementations of each component of this web, and setting the expectation of the separation power between writers and readers, any competitor is going to have to do the same. I learned this from podcasting. The first podcast client, which I wrote, established OPML as the format for interchanging subscription lists. Doing the same kind of thing here. Setting user expectations from the start. #
