RSS gets shuffled

So the big news of the day is that control of RSS 2.0 got moved to Harvard. For the small number of people that care, here’s my take:

• Dave Winer and his old company controlled RSS 2.0 prior to today
• Dave Winer and his new company (1) control (2) RSS 2.0 today
• Can we all just agree on something? Screw 8 formats. Give me something that I can publish in and can be understood by everyone.

Notes:

1) Harvard is a school, but that’s just another name for a company (except they waste more money).

2) OK, so he doesn’t control it all. He started a board. I would have liked to see a little more democratic action though…
