Quoting Dave Winer 🔗

The way our online writing world has been siloized, basically no one has that. We’re going to try to fix that, and not with just my software, but by setting some new standards for interop, extensions to RSS, so that there’s no exclusivity to making software for writers or publishers. That’s what I mean when I say something is “on the web.” If your system is not 100% replaceable, today, they you are not on the web and should not claim it. If you’re thinking about freedom, btw – this should be part of your big picture. So many smart people don’t want to know how our networks work, and that makes you a victim. And it’s not that hard to understand, no matter what people have led you to believe.
