> Dave Winer: Let's do a Bay Area blogger's dinner at Jing Jing in Palo Alto Sunday 7PM? Am I crazy? Can it come together that quickly? I asked Gretchen Pirillo and she said she thinks she can come. I promise I won't talk about RSS. Maybe my darling Gnome Girl will come?

> Tom Maszerowski: Mark Pilgrim and Dave Winer are fighting, again. It started over a remark Dave made about various blogging services. Mark turned around and created a bot that reads Dave's RSS feed every 5 minutes and spits out the text, annotated to show what's been added/deleted/changed since the last time it ran. Dave's claiming copyright infringement, Mark's claiming fair use. Okay MeFi folks, which side are you on, and why?

> Zeldman: "How you feel about the limitations of RSS probably depends on what you use it for. If you want a simple format that lets you notify subscribers when your site's content is updated, and makes it easy to include a few lines of that content so they can decide whether or not it interests them, RSS 2.0 fits the bill perfectly. Its genius is its simplicity — and simplicity, whether in furniture design or software design, is a high virtue."

> Don Park: Mark has a stalker bot that monitors Dave Winer's blog for changes every five minutes and list detected changes using color-coded difference report. Called Winer Watcher, it is an interesting experiment from an engineer's point of view, but I think it is stalking and suspect the motivations behind it...
