My buddy Rex

Saturday, October 24, 2009 by Dave Winer.

These days my blog posts are always essays, but it wasn't always so. In the beginning they were all links, with pointers to articles both on this site and off-site. Example.  

Then it became a hybrid, at the top of the page were the links and at the bottom were articles. Example.  

Then in early 2007 (Jan 6, to be exact) I went all essays, and then a few weeks after that, started using Twitter. It's funny how one event followed another. 

Anyway, this article by Rex Hammock is so lovely and so vindicating, I'd do a special post just to link to it. 

Rex Hammock: Facebook goes River of News. 

And one little thing, I'm going to have a linkblog up in the not-too-distant future. Again. Everything is new again, every few years, it seems.  

Also it's sad that my friends, people like Rex, have to hedge so much because of a handful of stinkers who follow me around on the web. I'd like to encourage my buddies to just go through it, and say what you want to say and let the stinkers stink up some other place. Life is too short. With much love, Dave.
