In the comments to day 1 of this discussion I have pointed to the Wikipedia policy page: Biographies of living persons

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biograph...

Do you think the policy has things that should be changed AND/OR do you think this policy is not "policed" well enough?

I did the obvious thing and Mahalo'd "Dave Winer".

At the bottom of the page there is a section titled "User Recommended Links for Dave Winer". One link there for a website of another person named "Dave". Not Winer.

Spam? Rudeness?

You decide.

Re: Blogger of the Year (Scripting News)

I would like to suggest "river of news" as the blogging concept of the year and more so for next year.

Not just your NYT river. Rivers of news are everywhere.

For example , the PlanetPlanet (http://www.planetplanet.org/) software aggregate news from different sources to one page.

Thank you Dave for coining the term and pushing the idea forward.

This post takes me back to something I wrote back in 2004 about Weblogs.com , MailToTheFuture.com and death.

It begins like this:

"(To make things clear from the beginning, this piece is not about Dave Winer)

It's time to add "death" to our thinking about the Internet."

Re: Solving the TinyUrl centralization problem (Scripting News)

In Israel, newspapers (emphasis on paper) publish links in print and some of them use tinyURL.

If any of them had their own tinyURL, they could get statistics on what links are actually used.

I don't know how newspapers in other parts of the world publish links. Maybe it's a good idea for them also.
