Re: Thursday, August 24, 2006
Well well, it got up to techmeme, must be important. I note Dave Winer's remark: "...the kvetchers and complainers who say we have no right to do anything new, or find a new angle on something that's been done before...". I've not, nor have I seen, anyone say that they (the Winers) have no right to do anything new or find new angles. Personally speaking, I would love to see a new angle on something like mobile delivery. River of News is a very catchy phrase. But applying it to newsreading on a mobile device is rebranding, not invention. I remember reading River of News-style material on a Palm years ago via Avantgo. The rebranding is not dissimilar to Netscape's "Rich Site Summary" becoming the technically near-identical "Really Simple Syndication", funnily enough. It's an interesting coincidence they should refer to the myth of the Eureka moment, that's something Tim Berners-Lee mentioned in a podcast I blogged about only yesterday. Great minds clearly think alike (but not necessarily at the same time).
