citizen-everything - by Dave Winer

Monday, October 10th, 2005

Dave's post today about his sale of weblogs.com, which has been pretty well recieved (except for some folks pointing out some institutional stupidity at Verisign).

Thanks to Om Malik for this great story:http://gigaom.com/2005/09/23/bit-torrent-raises-875-million/ At Gnomdex this year a great deal of the conversation was about BitTorrent, and how the best way to legitimize it is to use it legitimately - use it for podcasts, video blog casts, spreading your own content, open source software, sharing legal ...
