Winer prunes blog and plants a tree. Dave Winer’s transformation of Scripting News from a weblog to a directory makes more sense if you look at his categories page and an example category such as the one devoted to Howard Dean.
Apparently, the new slogan of Scripting News is “plant a tree.”
I don’t know if I like the idea yet, but I’m glad he’s trying to jump outside the form we’ve all come to expect from weblogs and see what he discovers on a new frontier. As I learn more about Winer’s distributed knowledge tree, I wonder if there’s an opportunity to benefit from RDF rather than using OPML at its core. [Workbench]
