50 Percent of Moms of Guys Named Dave Use RSS

I was eating lunch and chatting during a break at the BlogHer conference this past weekend, and who did I spy over my right shoulder but RSS/OPML developer Dave Winer. Dave gave Reader a good review a couple of weeks ago, and I took the opportunity to thank him in person, and ask for more feedback.

Framing Reader

The letters RSS can bring anxiety (or blank stares) to many. Our goal with reader was to expose the idea of reading feeds instead of web sites to many more people than know about it today, and do it in a way that doesn't give anybody nightmares. At it's best, an experience with a feed reader should remove several steps in your quest to stay connected with your friends, colleagues, and the world around you. It should bring you information and entertaining content that you didn't know was out there. And it shouldn't bring on additional anxiety. It's an exciting space because it's still new and wide open. No one has yet defined the ideal RSS reading experience, and in fact one size may not fit all.

Dave Winer Is Sick Of Our Podcast Ads

Last week Dave Winer expressed some serious disdain for the EarthLink ads on the Gillmor Gang podcast. He wrote:

...at the beginning of each show Steve inserts a 3-minute rambling advertorial for Earthlink. After listening to it twice (the first time it was actually entertaining) I learned to skip over it, but then Steve implemented a workaround, he went to six minutes (I made the mistake of telling him I was skipping over the 3 minute version). Then, after a short break, he splices in the recorded banter between himself, Mike Arrington, Doc, and whoever else happens to be on the Gang that week..
