The RSS Wars - Dave Winer vs Techcrunch
- kingofspain 16y agoThis partly reminded me of school, but at least I did get learned things in school.
- jokermatt999 16y agosigh There were some interesting points in this discussion initially. Now it's just mudslinging and crap. Just let it go when it gets to this level folks. As a side note...does anyone else somewhat suspect that TechCrunch wrote the whole "RSS has been killed by Twitter/Facebook" specifically to provoke this kind of reaction? Considering they're basically a tabloid, it wouldn't surprise me. As Siegler said in this post, these lame fights are a major part of TC.
- jedc 16y agoAnyone know the name of the tool TechCrunch uses to get the screenshots of the tweets? I remember them writing about it, but can't find the reference.

- trotsky 16y agoIt seems to me every other article I see at TC these days is the blogger equivalent of the local TV news pointing the camera at the newspaper article that broke the story. "I was justing mindlessly browsing quora for three hours and now I'm going to summarize whatever some insider posted..." "We just wasted a bunch of time on twitter, check out the screenshots..." A few years ago when people were talking about the dark future of journalism this is what they meant.
- ianl 16y agoTechCrunch is awful now :(
- bambax 16y ago> Everyone knows tech crunch is dead as dead can be. Killed. Dead. Dead. Pushing up the daisies. A former blog. Dead.dead. Sad. Those guys aren't Monty Python, that's for sure. In memoriam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vuW6tQ0218
