in The blogosphere is growing up on Mathew's comments
I've written a long follow up piece to my original post.

My conclusion at this point is that the bloggers involved were naive and probably played expertly, but then they are full grown adults and should have been more careful. They sure will be next time. We all will be.

Danny:

My Technorati rank is somewhere above 29,000, so I'm happy to listen to non-Alisters like myself. If you know about really cool RSS applications, please let me know and I'll write about them (adam AT darwinianweb DOT com). That goes for anyone else as well. I think RSS is the foundation of an entirely new infrastructure that will run parallel to the Web. Aggregation right now is like the Web before Mosaic (the first graphical browser).

in Dave worries about Microsoft on Scobleizer
The E-word sure gets thrown around a lot. I'm not saying that Microsoft's strategy of cloning the minimal feature set is evil, but it sure is predatory, especially when combined with bundling. It makes good business sense for Microsoft to stop innovating once the air has been sucked out of an market niche, and the phrase "sucking the air out" is clearly identified with Microsoft. Don't tell me you never hear that at product meetings.

I agree with Dave that the IE7 preview is a wakeup call to the publishers of aggregators. In fact, they'd be much better off coming up with something else to do with RSS that goes way beyond aggregation. That was my basic point from the beginning.
