So Dave Winer is speaking.
by Patrick HavensWhen I saw that Dave Winer was speaking I felt a tickle in my memory. I remember that name from years ago when I used to read HotWire, when it was the place to go to. So I was pleasantly surprised to see that he was speaking about the Past, Present, and Future of Web Publishing. In case you don’t recognize the name yourself, here is what he wrote about himself:
“I’ve been a blogger as long as there’s been such a thing, starting in 1996 with a blog around a project I was doing at HotWired, where I was a contributing editor.
“I’ve been credited with developing or co-developing many popular Internet technologies, including RSS, OPML, XML-RPC, SOAP. I’ve been a software developer since the mid-late 70s, having worked on outliners, presentations software, scripting, content management and blogging tools.
“I’ve been a lead developer, company executive, board member, investor, editor, research fellow and blogger.”
So its with no surprise that Dave is speaking, its just a surprise he said yes.
