the mess was created by vendors who wouldn't work with each other.

- bmn__ 5y agoAh yes, blaming someone else, when we have have historic records that it was you who is responsible. Who do you hope to make an impression on with your lies?

- davewiner 5y agoI like the first document, circa 2009. We were doing the same thing in Frontier at the time, because as the author says, it all was a bit of a mess. I use the feedparser package in my JS work written by my friend Dan MacTough, that hides the differences between all flavors of RSS, RDF and Atom. https://www.npmjs.com/package/feedparser https://www.npmjs.com/package/feedparser I don't know what role you think I played in RSS, but I never had the power to change what people were doing. I could only do things in my own software and with publishing partners. I had influence only because I had (at the time) popular products and some good ideas (like podcasting).
