Keeping it fresh
Paolo (one of the founders of the ‘Radio generation’ of bloggers) agrees with Stowe Boyd on how to keep it fresh.
Me - I not only designed (and tried to have built) several Radio plug-ins (now known as ‘widgets or modules’) but I also learned lessons on ‘desktop based servers’, extensible end-user systems and aggregation. There are things that Radio was doign 4-5 years ago that STILL aren;t available elsewhere.
Ah well - the price we pay for being ahead of the curve.
Anyway - yes - keep it fresh, go on hiatus, even declare that you’re stopping blogging. But at the end of the day - have a great meal, enjoy some music, watch some great old movie and “express yourself” in your own way.
I don’t drink coffee so I can’t recommend that - even though I DO try and take notes - all the time. Dave Winer gave us a lot of great stuff and I wish him “Good Luck” and have fun on his hiatus.
Marc, just FYI — most of the stuff you liked in Radio is in the OPML Editor, which is GPL, and I’m working to get a development community going around it. Instead of lamenting how that was so far ahead of its time and how no other evnrionment has matched it’s features, how about instead we work together to take it even further?
See you on April 6!

Dave,
In addition to the opml editor, there was tons of stuff in Radio 8 not available anywhere.
There was the desktop server, a concept lost in this latest vc cycle and which will come up again when this bubble of zero-bizmodel companies crashes.
There was the natural workflow which came from routing items to a category or the home page or very importantly to multiple pages.
There was the recognition that not all category feeds needed to be a blog, and thus the difference between post and publish.
Infact with the addtion of jabber, I always thought radio would evolve in the direction of a great collaboration tool where we all created spaces or categories that were either completely public or restricted to a group, and in which RSS flowed externally and internally, and where opml transclusion (to use jon udells term) led t instant collaboration, and where the posts and items could be themselves like wiki pages in the desktop website with marc building on your page and me building on marks and yours and so on and so forth..thus mimicing how us research groups work together, disburse tasks etc etc.

Rahul, the desktop web server is in the OPML Editor too.
