Looking at RSS posts and the results in the News Aggregator, I’m finding that I’m a rude poster. My postings are quite large. My last one is huge. Within the Aggregator, they take up a disportionately large amount of space.
Will RSS/syndication create a new set of rules regarding polite behavior? Keep your weblog postings small, and use Stories for the larger material?

I am having a particularly troublesome night tonight with technology.
I look at RSS and syndication and say, well this is neat technology. But what about the interactivity? What about the context of each communication? If you think about it RSS and syndication strips away any mark of individuality of the posting and returns only an isolated bit of news, along side other isolated bits of news.
It’s nice, but not what I’m looking for. It has part of what I’m looking for, the seeds of something interesting.
UDDI sounds good on paper — shop for web services from a centralized service that is, in actuality, distributed nodes within a cloud. But then I look at the sponsors and I look at the specifications and I look at the potential restrictions and this is not what I want. Still, other seeds are getting planted.
Lots of talk about two-way web and that sounds appealing — let’s all work together. Hey. La La La. And with this we want to do … what was it again? More seeds, but no sprouts.
Google — all of the world’s sum total information in a little bitty living space. Smart bot, smarter algorithm. Big seeds, getting closer.
Web services. Seeds and some fertilizer throw in.
What do I want. What do I want.
I want to put my head next to my laptop monitor and have it tell me what I want, and then go find it for me.
I’m trying out Blogger Pro functionality for review purposes, so expect things to come and go (Yes, I am still doing MT, but review first, play later).
Actually very nice tool! It might not have all the bells and whistles, but what it does have is very attractive. The ability to draft a posting, and then repost it and have the same comments attached is incredible!

This is fun: O’Reilly’s PHP DevCenter picked up my quote from Scripting News for the PHP Digest:
“I will continue to beat you about the head on this issue until you ultimately bow to my superior knowledge on this subject.”
I must remember to mix threats of physical violence and technology more often.

My Alter Ego pure tech weblog started getting buzzzy and I figured I was getting link-love from someone. Sure enough a quick look at the referrers and I found this link at Scripting News, quoting my words:
“I will continue to beat you about the head on this issue until you ultimately bow to my superior knowledge on this subject.”
I had such at laugh at this, and I bet Dave did also. Here’s all these people hitting the site thinking I’m ripping Dave a new one, and instead I’m trashing UDDI — a subject that both Dave and I are in strong agreement on.
Fool you! Fool you!
