Kyle, Ray Ozzie might be ok if he left Microsoft, but IMO as the creator of Lotus Notes I might be more tempted to send him to Gitmo for war crimes.

Hey Jcarreira,

Exactly.

But, even more to the point, it has to be someone who is actually very technical, but suave enough to be political. The same commenter that told me that also suggested Ray Ozzie, and explained why.

I'd have to say that, as much as I hate Microsoft, that's actually a pretty good choice.

What Kyle's commenter said. Go read the history of the RSS 0.92 / 1.0 / 2.0 and Atom before suggesting Dave Winer be put in a position where he has to talk to others.

Jason, I sent an e-mail to the CIO of the church, a friend of mine.
He's also on Twitter, and anyone could have asked him there. You act
as though you want this news to be true - are you really serious that
you think this could actually happen?

Again, try to understand the perspective of a long-time member of the
Faith you're talking about. I'm someone that knows the history, knows
how they do things, and work on a regular basis with people that would
be close to the situation. I also wrote 2 books on Facebook and I
know the ins and outs of Facebook and many of the people over there.
I'm telling you this rumor is ludicrous and you keep coming back
acting as though it might be true. I suggest you trust me on this
one, then call me out if it is true. Now, what's the credibility of
the other guy where this all originated?

Jesse, what makes you any more authoritative in saying it has no basis than the original person who posted the rumor has in saying there's something to it? Do you have LDS batphones that let you know everything anyone in the LDS church is doing or something? Could it be that *gasp* something is going on with one part of the LDS church without you knowing about it?

I'm pretty sure that with Identi.ca your data is the *community's* since they default to a Creative Commons license for everything you put up.

Also, open source doesn't make a bad architecture better.

I'm still waiting to hear counter-arguments on why we should want a federated micro-blogging platform. See here first: http://blog.babelnote.com/2008/07/you-think-you...

You think you want a distributed Twitter, but you don’t: http://blog.babelnote.com/2008/07/you-think-you...

The notion that standards kill innovation is a myth. It's a Microsoft argument. Browsers work with HTTP and HTML. Are you suggesting that browsers can't innovate ? If OMB enables users to subscribe to people across networks, that can only be a good thing.

Good luck with your Twitter killer.

I'm still trying to find out why people want to hobble microblogging like this.... Standards = death of innovation.

I wish I'd known you were going to post this.... I wrote the counter-point last night.
