I don't know if modern Web developers are aware how much of a struggle it was to get to the HTML5 stack we use today. There was a loooooooooot of bullshit to wade through. VBScript, ActiveX, Java applets, browser plugins, Flash. It was a fight every step of the way.
The Web Standards Project was instrumental in this work. Their efforts probably generated a trillion dollars in value for the planet and saved countless lives. Open standards fucking matter.

@BreakingNerd I mean, that's a bad practice, sure, but it wasn't a commercial product by a single company foisted onto the Internet by gullible Web developers. Nobody had to download RealPlayer to get a table layout to work.

I wonder if @davew ever talks about some of the grotesque syndication products like PointCast and Castanet from the late 90s when he's discussing the history of RSS.

@davew TIL! Those are fascinating posts.

@davew I mean, TIL about the relationship of RSS to Pointcast. I already knew that you can look things up using the Google search engine, even if I don't always practice it.

i was very impressed with pointcast.
that CNN on the Desktop piece ran in Wired.
and they quoted it everywhere.
it was a breakthrough. probably not the most elegant implementation, but wow what an idea.

btw i was ready to help you too. shortly after i moved to nyc and got settled in i was going to come up to montreal for a visit, but somehow right at that moment you and a bunch of other familiar people were meeting privately with someone from google. i had seen that movie before too in many instances of the tech industry.
i see the long journey you took from that, i think we might have gotten there quickly.
did you write the software in identi.ca?
