Echo vs. RSS
The whole reason I started a blog was because I was interested in the technology behind it. I wanted to try and really get it and to do that I had to write. It's been pretty fun. I have a list an arm long of features I'd like to see and those that I already love. I have this public blog and also an internal one at my company. I use the blog to tell others what I think and to keep track of document that only I care about. I use them to keep track of links that I find useful or interesting. I also enjoy seeing how other people use web logs. I am hooked on it.
Anyhow, this afternoon I got back from a little trip to Vancouver and fired up my aggregator. There are lots of people talking about Echo vs. RSS this weekend and I just find it fascinating. I love watching the features, the egos, the technology, the political maneuvering and even the temper tantrums. I have no doubt that the main players will find a way to extend the blogging feature-set to the benefits of the users. The user is the most important thing. Don't lose sight of that, please guys.
