Dave comes through in a big way. These 2 posts - here and there - really do an excellent job of explaining what's going on behind the scenes, but also, what's in it for the user.
Thanks. It helps. As a user (and developer-wannabe) of Radio, I've been thinking a lot about the news aggregator. I need to edit my subscriptions. I need to find some new sources that all of the bloggerati aren't already quoting en masse. Sounds as if Dave & the team are going to help us.
Just as pamphlets were used to "spread the word" during days of revolution, weblogs are the ham radio, replacement for Dan Rather's opinions and interactive news source all-in-one. Applied to particular fields, they become technical support resources, customer service tools and 1001 other collaborative vehicles. All of the "why's" of weblogging are right; so are all the "what's." The capability that allows anyone to put their thoughts into the hands of the world is a powerful capability indeed. Now we need to be sure that there is a way to find those thoughts once posted! How can a person's "voice" be heard among the millions?
