Dave Winer (placeholder)

I attended the first BloggerCon at Harvard for free thanks to Dave. I subsequently met him at one or two other Harvard events. He read my blog back when I started and was writing using a Userland server, and I’m grateful to him for creating Manila (my blogging platform) and RSS and for giving me a start.

I think I saw him once in Sydney…it was in Carlton Crest Hotel

Back at MacHack in the 90’s.

I met the blogfather at the Triangle Blogger Conference in Chapel Hill. We talked about DaveNet and the early WWW, while having donuts and java.

I found him very pleasant, and hope he comes back to blogging…

...been reading his blog, scripting news, forever.

...he bought me a tasty dinner in Greensboro. He’s a brilliant man, and he can be fun to hang out with as long as you don’t take him too seriously.

Dave is an innovator. He’s a visionary. He’s a scripter and I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dave Winer several times.

I organized a conference/party that he attended…

I’ve know Dave online since maybe 1994 or so, but I’ve only met him in person once, at Seybold in 2000…
