This foray into DIY has gotten the conversation with Microsoft restarted. It's been too long since we collaborated on this stuff. UserLand remembers well how all this web services stuff started. We've never hesitated to say that equal credit goes to the brilliant and courageous people at Microsoft who believed in this stuff. Why do I keep saying that Web Services are not just the province of the Big's? Because they say they are, in so many ways. It's totally not fair for us to have to fight for the right to innovate the stuff we started. I wouldn't have to keep saying that if they didn't route around us. Anyway now that seems to be over, so we can be softer and more generous. They're intrigued by what we're doing here. That's good. I want to make sure Web Services work for Web Developers. When I say it that way, the Mind of Microsoft gets interested. There's our win-win." created="Fri, 08 Feb 2002 16:04:29 GMT"/>

It's true that he inspired me to work on scripting user-oriented apps. Then we infected Apple with the idea, so counter to conventional wisdom, sometimes Microsoft does the innovating and Apple sometimes copies them. Heh.

No longer are we the unwashed masses yearning to be taught the true path to enlightenment by the C developers, now they're pleading with us to help them work around limits in their crippled environments. Heh. Now don't go overboard. But the self-deprecation &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; appreciated. One of our mottos is It's Even Worse Than It Appears.

He characterizes them as not friendly, but these people like you Dan, and they're perplexed. My feedback. I want your blog to be at dangillmor.com, now and forever, and it's OK with me if you link to the Merc, but I come there for you, not RealCities (whatever that is) or SiliconValley.Com (ditto). Remember when Lycos bought Wired News. WTF is Lycos. (Answer: an also-ran search engine, that turned into a meaningless conglomerate of websites owned by CMGI then a Spanish portal.) I would prefer if Wired appeared to own Lycos, makes more sense to me. And in my mind Dan Gillmor is far more important than every other thing in the Knight-Ridder empire. I wish they'd get a clue and let you gain some momentum with an easy to remember URL, simple weblog-style features, and &lt;i&gt;no linkrot&lt;/i&gt; so the archives keep working. Dan you say things that belong on the record. When they get lost, we lose our context." created="Fri, 08 Feb 2002 21:12:50 GMT"/>
