Take my toys and go....

Often a proponent of openness and the "unedited" form of blogs. Dave Winer really does a lot of editing. Publishing inflammatory statements and then taking them back when nobody is looking.

Anyway, I don't like that they don't even mention me on their blog. This is the usual thing in the tech business. Reinvent something, and pretend that it was an original idea. It worked for Evan with blogging, in most places. Can we keep this one from being wrapped up by one vendor? Let's hope so. BTW, Odeo has a blog.

How many blogs were there????

Among the more absurd things Dave has said it the absurdity that there were 4-5 blogs in 1997. What? Are you saying I was the only blog publisher in 1997? Thanks Dave. The truth, as born out by a meander through the internet archive is that there were many more and that Dave's 1997 Frontier News Page was by no means the first. He did some great work with Clay Basket, Frontier and some of the later tools. But there were many more than 4-5 webistes that qualify as blogs in the same revisionism that calls Scripting News a blog as of 1997.
