Here’s how maddening Winer is. I pledged years ago to never comment on him publicly. But this was so dickish, I had. What a small man.
- Kontra:
@GlennF Did Aaron invent outlining? Indeed the notion of hierarchy and temporal aggregation? How then can he have any claims to RSS?
- Josh Centers:
@counternotions @GlennF My understanding is that he coauthored the protocol.
- Glenn Fleishman:
@jcenters @counternotions No, not at all. It’s a long story. 0.x versions preceded 1.0 and evolved into 2.0
@GlennF @jcenters @counternotions There were years of competing standards. IIRC, Winer’s strongest claim is that term RSS won out.

@jeffporten @GlennF @counternotions I remember Atom & clients that supported one but not the other.
