Today's links [February 20, 2006]

There's an RSS advisory board at Harvard
"Is RSS controlled by one person? No. Each of the advisors must make up his or her own mind..."
The RSS advisory board goes public, apparently with Dave Winer's blessing
"A new era begins today for the RSS Advisory Board [...] The board is taking on eight new members..."
A new clarified RSS specificaiton is introduced
Copyright 2006 RSS Advisory Board
But there's an important question
"I have to ask, what's Dave Winer's role in all of this"
Harvard distances itself from the RSS board
"Harvard has no involvement with any of these efforts"
Dave Winer says RSS Advisory board doesn't exist
"Winer has now decided that the board doesn't exist and never had authority over the RSS specification"
News flash
"And the simple fact is that RSS sucks"
...but that's OK because
"At this point, pretty much everybody supports Atom"
