Echo vs. RSS

Monday, June 30th, 2003

There’s a huge schism occuring in the weblog-tech community about a new technology that many people are collaborating on called Echo. It aims to improve and replace two existing standards: the MetaWeblog API and RSS. Both of these standards are outdated, lack important features and not properly described. Dave Winer is a crotchedy old man with a popular weblog who played a huge role in developing both standards, and he’s one of the most hated people in weblogging for a reason. In the past couple days he’s been making a total fool of himself on his website and many others. He whines like a little kid and cries foul about the imaginary “personal attacks” he’s enduring while slinging lies and …

How the hell did I miss this awesome article?

SUMMARY: A new study confirms what researchers have suspected for some time — women may prefer to date one gender or the other, but they get sexually aroused by both.

My site is now officially babyproof. Following the lead of the dirty whore I did all that content labelling shit that keeps little kids from being turned into murderous, sex-starved lunatics upon visiting my site on the school’s computers.

I (like The Whore) hate censorship but approve of people being able to decide for themselves, and properly labelling content is a required step in that process.
