"Tom, by reading my blog you are showing you are innovative and an original thinker. No sarcasm. Thank you for the encouraging words. I don't believe there's no way to be innovative. I just think that's the mood of our times. That the individual doesn't play much of a role in his or her own life." - Dave Winer

"It isn't. Everyone has a load of examples where it didn't work, but overlook the ones where it did. For example, how did Instagram get such a huge user community?" - Dave Winer

"I should have added to my piece on the liveblog that people always say they read the piece. Maybe they did. My point was that I was surprised we don't have a meme, acronym or hashtag to describe the idea. That's all. We obviously see the KKK vs ISIS thing differently. That's the moral of the Internet. So much of what it's about is that very simple idea. We look at the world differently. After a while that isn't an interesting discussion, again, my own feeling, YMMV. (A great acronym, btw.)" - Dave Winer

"Chuck suppose there's a restaurant in the neighborhood that serves a really great chocolate layer cake that I love. But it costs too $100 a slice. I think I can make it for $6 a slice. I don't see what I'm missing. Sure the restaurant makes $100, but I'm just a customer. Why do I care about the $94?" - Dave Winer

"How did you jump to RSS?" - Dave Winer

"I looked at tent.io a few years back." - Dave Winer

"I don't like blog posts as comments. I only read the first paragraph. App.net wasn't a good experiment, because they didn't allow federation, didn't even read and write RSS feeds. It didn't begin to have the potential of the kind of system I describe in the headline. They were trying to hold on to the ability to impose a business model, and for that there had to be lock-in. There was some clever marketing there, but ultimately there was no good reason for developers to build on it and therefore nothing interesting to draw users to it. Same with Ello. Suggest you use your blog." - Dave Winer

"BTW, every time I write a piece like this, I get spammed by the "IndieWeb" people. They always say they're working on it, whatever it is, and drop a link to their site. That's the definition, imho, of spam." - Dave Winer

"What's your involvement with that project? I seriously doubt you'll do it, because you pick dumb fights over open formats. Your failure to embrace RSS makes it impossible, for example, for you projects to work with mine. Why are you so picky about who you'll work with?" - Dave Winer

"No, I'm not overlooking that." - Dave Winer

"Not yet. Still ripping up the pavement regularly." - Dave Winer

"I totally agree about the Like button. And thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot!! :-)" - Dave Winer

"It's an app, so it does a lot of things after it loads, but all of it from JS. If they run the JS, that would be really surprising. Why would they. I have not tried the regular summary card first." - Dave Winer

"Yes, that is more or less what it seems to be saying. It shouldn't need to load anything but the one HTML file. The metadata is in there. That's why I put out this request for help. I don't know what steps to take. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"Actually that's the important point to remember. We're just talking about collision insurance. The max exposure is the value of the car. I actually self-insure for that." - Dave Winer

"Yup. That's why I'm skeptical when they say this isn't the company policy. Otherwise the only other explanation is that the guy is a sociopath." - Dave Winer

"Heh. I like that idea, but the socially correct thought police probably would have a problem with it. :-)" - Dave Winer

"The AngularJS example is exactly what I'm seeing. Somehow if we could communicate to FB that they need to ask the question another way. Send a message to the web page somehow..." - Dave Winer

"I actually thought about creating a stub, a very small static file that redirects to the liveblog reader, but has the right OG metadata. The problem with this approach is that the wrong URL will end up in the address bar, so that's what will be passed around. ANother possibility is framing but that's super ugly and it obfuscates the technology, and I want to be transparent. So I don't want to do that either." - Dave Winer

"There is no server-side. The demo app, and the app it models, are static web pages stored in S3 buckets." - Dave Winer

"http://scripting.com/2014/03/1..." - Dave Winer

"Sigh." - Dave Winer

"Radio3 is not open source." - Dave Winer

"I have only used Uber a few times, to see what the fuss was about, and then went back to the subway. You always have the choice of just opting out. You can exist that way." - Dave Winer

"BTW, I tried the debugger; call, it works -- but it still stops in the wrong place. Arrrgh." - Dave Winer

"Don, read the how to ask for help with software doc, and do what it asks you to do. This comment breaks almost every rule." - Dave Winer

"I never said you insulted anyone, you're just wasting time. Read the comment guidelines. If you keep posting argumentative comments, I'll just block you, so stop. Thanks." - Dave Winer

"If you think about it, it's kind of nuts. The web is the ultimate open application environment. Twitter should be a complete chaotic mess of new functionality coming out all the time. I can get to it through the web. 10 years ago I would have thought by now Twitter would be something completely new every few weeks." - Dave Winer

"Say I wanted to make an app and store info for users. Step me through the process that wouldn't involve them somehow identifying themselves. Step 1, step 2, etc." - Dave Winer

"And it's kind of nice to see JR Smith thriving too. ;-)" - Dave Winer

"Another option is to clone nodeStorage, and substitute a different storage system. As long as the REST interface is the same, any software written to work with nodeStorage would work with it." - Dave Winer
