This article seems to make the assumption that a web browser and the open web are the same thing.
Personally, I've always wished more sites would just publish raw data without markup and allow me to determine how I read it, to me that's more open.
Really, if there's a sudden up-shot of apps on OS X for displaying 'web' content, it could go either way - lock-in or a more data-centric, less markup driven web. I'd welcome the latter, guess we'll have to wait and see.
- easytiger 13y agoYou mean everything should be RSS? The popularity of sites like readability, pocket and several others show some people agree with you. They strip the content down as though it was published in a semantic markup and people (including me) see that as added value.
- lvturner 13y agoNo. Map data wouldn't be very useful in an RSS format :) I mean more services and sites should provide APIs to provide access to the DATA. While twitter have somewhat recanted on this recently, the ability for anyone to create a twitter client and use/display the data provided by twitter opened up things far more than just using "open formats". The key point is, that there's a difference between DATA and DISPLAY - and I think this article missed that point. However, it's concerns are valid EDIT: Whoops - replied too fast, just saw your full comment after edit, everything except the flat 'no' still stands :)
