Dave Winer is forgotten, at least if Wikipedia has anything to say about it
Having insomnia tonight, I thought I’d catch up on some of my blog reading since work has kept me pretty busy. I read this rather old post from Jon Udell: Wikipedia and the social construction of knowledge where he ruminates on how Dave Winer noticed that “his name had been elided from Wikipedia’s page about podcasting.”
Fascinating. Poor Dave. Now Adam Curry is even more rich and famous for Podcasting and Dave gets cut from public record. Golly, even the Wikipedia page on RSS doesn’t mention him.
I remember he drove cross country to South Beach to meet up with Adam Curry in the winter. My podcast listening was a bit flaky at the time since my iPodder clients were freaking out. Anyway, I think I missed some details but it seems like Dave and Adam had a big falling out. I’m sure their still friendly, but I doubt we’ll have any more Trade Secrets. Those were fun days for Podcasting.
