Stefan Smalla independently imagined standards-based distributed product reviews at about the same time I wrote structured blogging. Our lines of thought are eerily analogous, given that we didn't know each other at the time of writing. I recommend you go and read Stefan's piece - it's well-written, approaching the problem from an angle that is slightly different from mine, and the ensuing discussion is insightful. When similar ideas start popping up in disconnected places it sometimes means that they are getting ripe... What do you think? [] links to this post 1:31:29 AM
