@evan layout made with tables...
@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.

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.
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.

that CNN on the Desktop piece ran in Wired.

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?
