About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
Dave Winer just retired share.opml.org, one of the early projects that was about discovering and sharing the feeds you read. One of the things I liked about Share Your OPML is that I could point it at a URL of my feeds rather than uploading a file. I’m not a big fan of uploading when …

We all have different facets of our personality – if only work and family. The things that are relevant and interesting for work are off-topic for family.

The chances of something I find interesting being relevant to …
After playing around with Twitter for nearly a year, I’ve come to an understanding with it. The less Twitter does, the better. In reviewing Jeremiah Owyang’s Twitter Wish List, I only agree with #2, a white-labeled Twitter for workgroup/company use. If Twitter doesn’t want that market, that’s cool.
