Dave Winer: Merging RSS with Atom?







Dave Winer: Merging RSS with Atom?

Dave Winer: Merging RSS with Atom? 04/09/2004 04:03 PM

Dave Winer is requesting comments on his suggesti on to merge RSS with Atom. This is obviously just a rough sketch of how the merger would work and it needs a lot of filling out, but at least it's a start. Let's hope that this time the Hatfields and the McCoys the Atom folks and the RSS folks will drop the childish bickering and personal attacks that have hindered past discussions

FWIW, if this merger actually happens, I'll certainly support it in FeedDemon.

Questions for Dave Winer...


Questions for Dave Winer... 04/09/2004 03:54 PM

Dear Mr Winer,

  • Will the API for radiocomments be public and clonable?
  • If so, will the API for radiocomments be published before the initial deployment of the radiocomments system?
  • Will it be possible for Radio users to plug into a non-Userland scripting system?
  • Will the process for designing the radiocomments API be open or will it be designed exclusively by Userland?
  • Will Radio, Manila, or Frontier ever move to a non-proprietary scripting language?
  • Have you or will you file patents for the weblogs.com technology?

I should add that I don't really have much of an opinion about the whole Typekey thing at the moment. Certainly we need something to deal with comment-spam, certainly a centralised service will help with that and make things easier, yes I'd rather have an open standard or set of protocols that allow completely decentralised system if I could think of any way it could be done (but offhand I can't).

Addendum: I have to confess that I'm not terribly interested in this stuff - I was making a fairly light-hearted and facetious point that really wasn't particularly well-expressed. I was clumsy in a variety of places, and for that I apologise. All I was saying, I guess, is that Dave's questions made it sound like Six Apart had a reputation for proprietorial formats and patenting stuff and not opening up APIs - and that I don't really see any evidence of that. And - realistically - Dave is still associated with Userland and Userland is still a competitor of SixApart - so I can't really see why they should feel any particular obligation to answer those questions. (Particularly given that Userland attempted to trademark RSS a few years ago - a move that could be seen to be directly against the kind of openness that Dave's interrogating Six Apart about.)

Anyway, I certainly don't feel qualified enough to comment in any depth about the business practices of either Six Apart or Userland in this context and these are not positions that I'd be prepared to battle to my last breath to protect. So I'm going to back down gracefully, only saying that I hope that it's clear why I had the impression that I had, however inaccurate it may or may not have been. I also apologise to anyone who was offended or feels mischaracterised and I hope we can put this all behind us.

I'm proud of Dave Winer


I'm proud of Dave Winer 07/27/2004 07:48 PM

I really don't care about the Democratic Convention (though I did in 1968) and I'm not really into following what bloggers do in general (unless it's about social networking or media as well) - but did I tell you how proud I am of Dave Winer and the other Convention Bloggers?

Go dudes and dudesses - go.


Dave Winer asks......


Dave Winer asks...... 08/02/2004 01:29 PM

Dave Winer just posted a comment and asked.....

I don't get it -- why don't you use Radio?

What exactly was unreliable about it?

Maybe I can help figure out how to get it reliable.

Paolo was running his own RCS, right?

Anyway, I'm glad a Radio user finally had the confidence to tell the other guys that they haven't even caught up with UserLand's low-end product yet. Hold them to it. Let's get a real baseline for competition here.

Marc's reply......

First of all Congrats on the Convention - totally amazing to see how far blogging has come since you first floated the idea to me - back in 1995.

Personal publishing sure has come a long way - but we're not done yet. The idea of a client based personal server is something I can credit you for being the first person to come up with that idea. The issues surrounding that kind of product have been revealed because of Radio - and we all you a debt of gratitude for that one - too!

So I actually felt that Radio represented a lot more than just a 'blogging tool'. I worked with Mikel Maron on his MyRadio project and lauded Social DynamX's FMRadioStation. We even planned to do a product called Sweet Suite - which would also have complemented Radio.

But dude - you folks fell behind. I guess that doesn't mean you anymore - but being the largest shareholder does keep your teeth in the game. You question certainly shows that you're still concerned with the product's status and view - from the public POV.

So I can speak for many of us who left Radio in the past year - we loved that product, it changed our lives - but as new features, functionality and flexiblity came onto the market - Radio was incresingly keeping us behind.

Take the comment you left me.

I got an email of it, asking me to approve it - via 6A's TypeKey system. That rocks.

There are plenty of things that Radio still leads the market with - and that was the core of my post. But there were also lots of reasons to stop using Radio.

Stability was probably the biggest issue for me. After 5 or 6 total crashes, some of them my fauilt, others Radio instability - I just gave up. Also the feeling that all development on Radio had stopped - was a disappointment.

I always felt that you didn't charge enough for Radio, that if you had kept EditThispage going as a service and morphed it like Pyra did - the world would be a different place today.

And there was a whole "blogging support" play there - that never was taken advantage of......

Yes - Paolo runs his own RCS - and he's your biggest supporter and develoiper - BTW. And we're just getting started.

But for some reason - my mind flows to new kinds of micro-content, namespaces and decoupling schemas from the subscription protocol.

Isn't there a way I can talk you into getting back involved in moving these standards FORWARD?

Instead of worrying about the width of the threads on the pipe, can't we focus on the structured shit that goes through the pipes?

As I said before - I REALLY think that we can setup open standards for NEW kinds of micro-content. Here they are - and some of the people who should be involve don a domain specific basis. But DUDE - you know me and you and Sifry and Jon Udell should drive the overall architecture of all this. We NEED you! Here are the new kind sof micro-content I'm talking about:

Now not all these folks have signed up yet - but DUUUUUUUUUUUDE - we need you!

Dave Winer leaving RSS advisory board!


Dave Winer leaving RSS advisory board! 06/26/2004 06:21 AM

I am but a geek who's web surfing now revolves around RSS. I have only been producing this site a couple of years using RSS technology and it has profoundly changed me.

First I have influenced a person I have worked with for years to invest a significant amount of time/money integrating RSS into a mainstream application that has been on the market for a long time. My vision will have a significant impact on his company. When your influence and indirectly driven by Dave's perseverance to develop RSS into a mainstream standard helps change a companies vision that is a powerful thing. (more on that later but for know you will have to ponder what we are up to).

Second I started this website because RSS agreation of data, made me envision something that we have not yet fully implemented. It will be accomplished with RSS,

Look at the number of cottage industries that have sprung up and revolve around RSS. Not very many people can say my vision resulted in the creation of multiple companies doing breakthrough work, Dave Winer can! He is on a very short list of techies that can make such a claim.

Dave Winer was instrumental in making RSS what is today. The Atom folks would not be doing what they are doing if Dave had not done the legwork and revived RSS from the death grip surrounding the demise of Netscape and they should not forget who forged the path.

RSS has given me hope that innovation is still alive and well, it is now being driven mainstream through the voices of 100's of thousands of webloggers and companies are incorporating the technology every day fearing they are going to be left behind. It's like a tidal wave it starts as a ripple and ends with overwhelming power.

I am confident though, that with Dave's leaving the RSS advisory board that he has left it in good hands and the vision will carry on. Will there be changes sure but I also foresee universal incorporation at all levels of the IT infrastructure and into personal media.

Thanks Dave I only wish I had been there from the beginning. [Scriptin g News]

Merging Web Site Traffic Analysis
With... Sim City?


Merging Web Site Traffic Analysis
With... Sim City?
06/09/2004 10:35 AM
Dealing with large amounts of data is often difficult. For years, people have tried to come up with better graphical representations of data - which is why we see so many pie and bar charts all over the place. One developer has decided to go one step further in making website traffic analysis more visual. For anyone running a website, visitor traffic analysis often becomes something of an obsession. They want to see their stats, about who's visiting, how many people are visiting, where they're going and what they're doing on the site. Most web hosting companies offer up some very simple traffic analysis programs, but they usually don't let you dig too much into the information. There are a number of large "enterprise" level traffic analysis packages that are popular, as well as some cheaper ones that are pretty good themselves. However, they all produce the same sorts of charts and lists of data. Robert Savage thought that the data could be presented in a more intuitive way and creat ed an interface for web traffic analysis that looks more like Sim City than a traditional analysis package. The idea is that pages getting a lot of traffic look like large buildings, and people moving from one page to another hail taxi cabs, so you can see where they're going. Buses with their rooftops labeled show where people are arriving from (Google, Yahoo, etc.). The larger your website, the more it looks like a city than a small town. While it sounds (quite) gimmicky, people using it say it becomes addictive very quickly. Of course, it looks like the VisitorVille website can't take the traffic beating it must be getting - at posting time, all of its own images are broken.

After the weblogs.com hosting debacle< /a> surfaced yet again by people trying to reignite the flames, I decided to try to discuss it again with David Weinberger, whose comments in the middle of the flamefest are widely cited as evidence of how I didn't do all I should have done to notify people with blogs on weblogs.com. I know David to be a thoughtful, careful and considerate person. And to this day well-intentioned people question my integrity over these events. That's not cool for a person such as myself who values his integrity.

We reviewed the options that people suggested at the time, 1. Send an email, or 2. Post something on Scripting News. Neither would have worked, the mail addresses were four years old and probably didn't work, most of the sites never got past the Hello World stage (so the authors might not remember creating the site, and certainly don't care), and most people with free sites weren't and probably still aren't Scripting News readers, any more than most Blogger users were Evhead readers.

Posting something on Scripting News wouldn't have notified the users, but it sure would have notified the flamers. I think they were saying that they were complaining that they weren't told in advance that it was time to rip me a new one. ";->"

Anyway, he posted a correctio n, so next time this comes up, as it is sure to, the flamers won't be able to use him to support their attacks. Thanks!
