Karl Dubost

Karl Dubost

pointed out Mark Pilgrim’s screed on the public-evangelist@w3c.org mailing list today. Karl is a YULblog participant par excellence, so if I am able to make it next month I’ll be sure to talk to him more about this. He clarifies that XHTML 2 is just a working draft – but even as such, it’s pretty hostile to the people who have been working with this stuff among the public.

Mark Pilgrim

January 13, 2003 by Michael Boyle

Mark Pilgrim

seems pissed today: Semantic obsolescence. “I bought into every argument the W3C made that keeping up with standards, validating, and using semantic markup now would somehow ‘future-proof’ my site and provide some mystical ‘forward compatibility’. How about some fucking payoff now? How about some fucking compatibility?”

I think I agree with him.

Doc Searls lists

Doc Searls lists

nine things that indicate a media company gets the net in his piece, “Cut off the head and the body dies” (apropos of Steve Case stepping down at AOL). It’s a pretty good list, in particular because it identifies that one of the net’s primary values to a traditional media outlet is to increase the authoritativeness of a publication. Linkability or stability are key elements.
