A picture named ballmerInMotion.gifBTW, people make too much of my distaste for Microsoft's mucking with the iconography of RSS. It's already kind of a mess thanks to other techies who thought they understood the art better than everyone who came before. The content companies, like Yahoo, are generally pretty good about this. There's so much value in being consistent. "One way to do something, no matter how flawed that way is, is better than two, no matter how much better the second way is." But techies have this inappropriate arrogance that nothing happened before they discovered something. At least Microsoft hasn't said anything personaly insulting in pursuit of their epiphany. When other BigCos came in, some of them slung mud to prove their point. Microsoft people have been ladies and gentlemen. And net-net, they're doing it 98 percent right. Scripting News tends to have too loud a voice sometimes. When I post something here, once or twice, among hundreds of other posts, that should give you an idea of how important I think it is. I have no control over how many times an item gets repeated elsewhere. (Or if they repeat it correctly.) [Scripting News]
