Feed Description: A personal blog about technology in general, .NET in specific, and when all else fails, the real world.
After reading tripe like this, this just hardens my resolve to divorce myself from anything and anybody in the Cult of Winer. I can only hope Scoble makes it out with his soul intact.
I don't have $10,000 to bribe people with, so I guess I'll just have to put my blog on the line instead. Six months after whatever (n)Echo is to become is released, I will hereby cease to provide ANY form of RSS. If the aggregators have widespread support before 6 months, then I'll pull it earlier. Given the pace of aggregator technology adoption and the active involvement of some of the aggregator authors in the (n)Echo process, I expect they won't need anything near 6 months by the time the spec is released.
