| Web 2.0 is all about lighting up underutilized PCs which Clay Shirky calls "the Dark matter of the Internet" With improvements in hardware, connectivity and sheer numbers (of connected PCs) still mounting rapidly, anyone who can figure how to light up the internet's dark matter gains access to a large and growing pool of computing resources, even if some of the functions are centralized...[John Robb's Weblog] 5:21:18 PM  comment [] trackback [] |

| RSS: Chris Pirillo, owner of Lockergnome makes the point, once again, that RSS will replace email as the way publishers will deliver content that their readers want to read. He's the man. He had, at one point, 200,000 subscribers to his email newsletters. I'm sure he'll have more than that to his RSS feeds pretty soon. [The Scobleizer Weblog] 9:03:13 PM comment [] trackback [] |

| Great piece by Tim Bray that explains how designers should use XML. He describes the Worse Is Better school of XML format design. The names we use for elements are the worst-possible names, but they allow our software to interoperate. Namespaces create elements with names with colons in them. I bet Tim agrees that funky feeds, even if they're valid RSS, hurt interop. So much of this is obvious, yet we spend years arguing about it. [Scripting News] 5:29:46 PM comment [] trackback [] |

| Name the new syndication format BikeShed The expression bike shed discussion, which comes from a FreeBSD mailing list post by Poul-Henning Kamp, describes the experience of being bogged down by interminable debate on a subject where everyone feels comfortable in their expertise -- such as the building of a bike shed. It also can be stated as a law:
Looking at the naming effort for the new syndication and weblogging format briefly known as Pie, Echo, and Atom, perhaps it should be dubbed BikeShed (via RC3.org). [Workbench]5:17:45 PM comment [] trackback [] |

| An RSS/RDF epiphany Some fascinating conversations have been weaving their way through blogspace and email in the last few days. As a result, I think I've reached a new understanding of the seemingly endless debate about whether and how to use RDF (Resource Description Framework) and RSS together. I mentioned Dan Brickley's comments the other day. He expands on his remarks over on Shelley Powers' blog: ... [Jon's Radio] 5:15:08 PM comment [] trackback [] |

Safari global usage share more than doubles since Feb.. Web analytics research firm OneStat.com revealed on Monday global usage statistics for leading Web browsers. Apple saw the global usage share of its Safari browser more than double since February, according to the report. OneStat.com indicated that Safari increased its global usage share from 0.11 percent to 0.25 percent since February 2003. Based on KHTML from KDE's Konqueror open source project, Apple's Safari browser was released in January as a public beta test version. The software was downloaded more than five million times during its beta test, according to Apple. Apple released Safari 1.0 in June, along with a software development kit (SDK) that enables Mac OS X developers to embed the Safari HTML rendering engine in their own software.
