Panther Preview Hints at New .Mac Features Yes I use .Mac and have for quite a while. No I don't mind paying the fee. Am I using all the features, no.

Time for Forward Motion As previously noted, weblog protocols are stuck in a rut. We want to work together and solve the problems, but political battles keep getting in the way. It’s time to put our differences aside and solve the problem. I support the weblog format roadmap. Let’s start fresh, work together, and get the job done. I hope you’ll join me and announce your support for the roadmap from your weblog. If we get enough people behind this, maybe we can see some forward motion in this space again.
