Reaction to our StructuredBlogging.org announcement
I have to say - Greg Yardley’s reaction drew a smile.
How paranoid can one man get? Clearly Greg is right up there on the scale of martydom. God bless you dude. Whatever.
Meanwhile others seem to like it. Others were blown away by our ability to get it together in such a short period of time. So thanks go out to Salim, Gus, Jon Mandell and everyone else at PubSub.
Congrats to Phil (who is following coverage) and Kimbro and Chad. And thanks to Shelley Powers for OutputThis - as well.
There’s so much to talk about - let me also say “thank you” to Niall Kennedy as well. We ran into all sorts of challenges along the way, but in the end - truth and right triumphs!

Greg’s take is quite interesting and I’d love to know your reasons for why he is wrong? I think structured blogging makes a lot of sense but until now I never considered who it benefits financially.

Hi
Like the idea of microformats and structured blogging but shouldn’t Tantek Celik get credit for his work on Microformats - www.microformats.org

More recently, the idea of Dynamic Reading Lists and Feed Grazing (or Grazing Lists / Glists) has been kicking around. Its likely that Reading Lists support will become a common feature of Feed Readers / Aggregators.” Guests: Danny Ayers, Adam Green and Joshua Porter — Attention podcast : Attention with Steve Gillmor, Feb 08, 2006 “Steve has been leading Attention conversation for some time now. In 2003 he, along with David Sifry (CEO of Technorati), initiated the attention.xml efforts and has since taken on the role as president of the non-profit Attention Trust.” Guests: Steve Gillmor and Joshua Porter — MSN Search Champs podcast - Privacy conversation Jan 26 2006 “I attended the MSN Search Champs today….and what a day.

We focused the discussion around what he calls Meme Engines and I call Attention Engines, Tailrank (Kevin’s latest project), OPML, RSS and Attention.xml” Guests: Kevin Burton — Attention podcast with Joshua Porter, Nov 26, 2006 “About OPML, Attention, and empowering people.” Guest: Joshua Porter — Web 2.0 podcast, July 01, 2006 “Richard MacManus of Read/WriteWeb and I had a Skype chat this evening and recorded the call Talked about Web 2.0, attention.xml, a bit about RSS, APIs and more.” Guest: Richard MacManus […]

[…] Structured Blogging podcast with Marc Canter and Joe Reger You might have heard of the Structured Blogging initiative announced earlier this week by Marc Canter and others…there was certainly plenty of buzz and reaction to the news, but not all the reaction was rosy. So Joshua Porter and I thought we’d give Marc Canter and Joe Reger a chance to respond to some of the criticisms and further explain what all this Structured Blogging was about in this podcast. (Part 1 notes and link below, Part 2 tomorrow). About our guests: Marc Canter is CEO of Broadband Mechanics. Marc co-founded MacroMind in 1984 that later became Macromedia (now merged with Adobe) and also co-founder of Ourmedia.org. Joe Reger started Reger.com a datablogging service in 2003. I was great fun to do - Marc has a ‘tell it as it is’ style - not shy in the slightest(!) - thanks to Marc and Joe for their time today. I learnt a great deal more by talking to them and challenging them with some of the quotes from posts that criticized the Structured Blogging idea. From speaking to Marc and Joe today I’d say there are some misunderstandings ‘out there’ about the SB idea, so I hope the critics at least hear these responses in the podcast and look forward to their responses.

(20:10) 20:45 random call We’re talking about tens of millions of people. 23:00 Respond to quote from Greg Yardley’s post, ‘Structured Blogging as Web 2.0 Colonialism’ (23:45) “In my more pessimistic moments, I suspect that the omission of a payment mechanism is deliberate, and that the biggest proponents of Structured Blogging are just looking for new ways to aggregate a lot of content, use it to build up a valuable userbase, and sell, generating nothing for us-plain-folks but ‘a bigger megaphone.” Structured Blogging is a compatibility box (25:45) Microcontent description (MCD) (27:00) Standards innovation (27:50) Structured Blogging’s future: a dynamic web service: (29:00) SB Spam and the Identity Gang (32:40)Tags: structured blogging, microformats, semantic web, Blogging, Web2.0, RSS Filed Under: Web, Tech, Web 2.0 […]
