History of Podcasting!



Seems someone with an agenda is over on Wikipedia making changes to the History of Podcasting. Specifically removing Dave Winer from all mentions. This is beyond a travesty, and even though the majority of us that have been in the space for a while know the real history, it upsets me to see people using the WiKi to make changes that attempts to write people, that contributed to the success of Podcasting out of existence.

RSS is the Glue that makes Podcasting a unique audio delivery vehicle, and “Dave Winer” is the man behind RSS 2.0, Granted others in the space made significant contributions, but to remove Dave’s part from the history of podcasting is wrong and a injustice.

Getting the History right in my book was important, people will be hard pressed to alter what is on paper. [Scripting News]

  1. Looks to me like someone in New York has a axe to grind, not that their are that many podcasters or podcast business’s based in New York hmm should not be that hard to track down if the person has commented on a blog post it would have left the IP we can find out with a little detective work who the party is will not take a rocket scientist.
