It’s just data

Congratulations Dave!

Dave Winer: It's true, it's true. I've been offered a fellowship at the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School, and have, of course, accepted.


Something Worth Saying, Redux

There's a discussion going on where the participants are linking to me. I can't help but feel that they are trying to draw me into a discussion that I don't want to be a part of.

I said what I want to say on the subject here. To expand upon this slightly, among other things, the first two words say that it is possible to subscribe to a mailing list without feeling like you personally have to respond to every post. The third word gives clues as to when to ignore the advice of the first two.


Pingback server

Simon Fell: OK, the archive pages are now pingback enabled

I knew you could do it. ;-)

On the question of PB vs TB, I see the primary advantage of PB over referrer logs is that PB provides access to the fragment id. I see the primary advantage of TB over PB is that TB adds access to the excerpt. In terms of implementation, PB requires more logic on the server (how'd you get those titles?), and TB requires more logic on the client (scanning for trackback:ping).
