Dave, I really like RSS. I signed up to play with early functionality for radio2 when you let folk do that, and I agree with everything you're saying about twitter.
Why aren't you trying to replace it with the very decentralized thing you wish for? The various tools you're creating are either clients for the existing social networks, or aggregators/combiners/distributors -- none of which make us (or you, actually) any less reliant on Twitter. The fact that you're as vulnerable to Twitter's whims -- you, who's enmeshed in this world and understands more about it than I'll ever hope to, and has created formats to allow us to work apart from silos -- means I have no chance.
Is there something I'm not getting?
- davewiner 14y agoOf course we're trying to replace it. My feed is out there for anyone to follow. http://links.scripting.com/rss.xml http://links.scripting.com/rss.xml What else can I do? The press doesn't want to write about this, presumably because I'm not going to pay any money to sponsor their conferences. I just don't have the power to get everyone to provide feeds, if I did, I would.
