It was announced a couple of years ago that the Library of Congress was archiving all posts to Twitter for historic purposes. I thought I had written about why this is wrong, but I searched, and couldn't find it. So briefly here's why it is wrong.

I hear it everywhere. The web is dead, apps are the future. I heard it first on the cover of Wired Magazine in March 1997 and again in August 2010. I was so impressed I added it to my blogroll, as a reminder to all that you're reading a dead medium. That was said in jest, of course. I'll keep playing here while the rest of you flirt with apps. I'll be here when you come back. I know it's going to

I've been to so many big earth-shaking events from BigTechCo's -- today's Google thing is making me yawn, while my eyes glaze over in boredom. Here's how products like this are conceived: 1. We need to kill Facebook. 2. What will we do. 3. It can't just be Facebook. 4. No one will use that. 5. It has to be better. 6. It has to be something only we can do. 7. Some place where we have the advantage.

Here is a Unix shell command that gets the address of my RSS feed: dig +short davewiner.supercloud.org TXT It makes a DNS call to get the TXT record associated with davewiner.supercloud.org. That's different from an A record or a CNAME record. TXT records are used for things like this. That's why when you go there in your browser it doesn't go anywhere. I

I had assumed all along that Twitter had a special deal with the TInyurl folks, but apparently not so. They have an open API that is simplicity itself. It's so simple it's almost hard to describe.

Saturday, June 23, 2007 by Dave Winer. The other day I was thinking about other kinds of Twitters. The thing we like about Twitter is that you can't post a book-length story about what's going on right now, you can only do a 140-character synopsis -- "I just got on BART" or "Driving to NoobCamp." It's one of those Worse Is Better or Less Is More things we like so much about the Internet. So I star

I spent some time this week reviewing the UI of Radio UserLand, released in 2002. It was both a feed reader and a writing tool. # One would have thought, btw, that from that start that all subsequent blogging tools would have the same connections, even if the functionality was not all in the same product. But then came Twitter and Facebook, and they said they weren't blogs, and presumably would st
