I asked for the meeting. I want to talk about how the browser can be made more useful to people who use RSS and who write weblogs. I'm going to ask for features that work for all blogging software and all aggregators, foolish me, maybe I'm the only one who thinks we all do better if everyone has a chance to compete. Send me email if you have ideas how the browser could work better for what we do.

Let's focus on applications of technology. For the last N years developers have been far too focused on technology itself. As a result we spend time arguing and spinning wheels over various engineering visions of the plumbing, missing that the revolution ain't at that level, it's in how the tech is used to revolutionize all aspects of the world we live in, and even better, to solve problems and make the world better. Yes, even after all the control freaks have taken their pound of flesh, I'm still an idealist. Takes a lickin, keeps on tickin. <img src="http://static.userland.com/shortcuts/images/qbullets/sidesmiley.gif"> Sun, 08 Feb 2004 12:52:47 GMT http://archive.scripting.com/2004/02/08#When:7:52:47AM BTW, I am told that tomorrow's talk will be available on the public Internet, if not as a webcast, afterwards. I'll be Seattle through Tuesday night.
