Scott Gatz
Matt MacAllister pointed to a new blog last month and I took notice. It was from a guy named Scott Gatz of Yahoo.
I has met Scott on various occasions during my travels and I was recently told that he wa sthe ‘blogging guy’ at Yahoo. So I planted a bookmark - thinking - “OK I gotta get this guy in stage for our ‘StructuredBlogging.org’ launch.”
So let’s see how good this blog is “Hey Scott - wanna come hang with us and support whatever format it is you’re supporting already - and call that ‘Structured Blogging ?’
Cause we don’t really care what you call it:
- OPML
- Comet
- Y! 360
…whatever.
We just wanna make sure we get interop.
And to get interop we need Scott. And Anil (or Barak), and Jason - both Jasons (@ Google) and Sifry and Wyman and Reinacker and Gillmor and Hodder and Searls and everyone else - too.
Salim Ismail and myself will run the party and get everyone to sing Kum-bah-yah (on Dec. 13th) - but the real heart and soul of this will be the day an end-user doesn’t notice the difference between a format and a protocol. When we can achieve transparency on this new technology and have one way of describing it to humans.
You know - sort of like ‘Structured Blogging.
