Dave Winer is the guy that famously ranted he would never support the new JSON Facebook API: "To Facebook the answer must be no"! Then he when everyone laughed at him, he silently edited his rant to appear a bit more sane [1].. It's not that he wouldn't support the json api, it is that he couldn't, because the programming environment he wrote doesn't have a json library. It's 2010. Would you hire a programmer that who can't parse JSON? Edit: Even better.. would you hire a programmer who, when asked to design a json api, refused to do so and instead yelled at you about the superiority of XML-RPC?
