Structured Blogging Podcast with Marc Canter and Joe Reger, Part 2

Part 2 of the podcast Alex Barnett and I had with Marc Canter and Joe Reger is now available. In it, Marc Canter riffs about OPML, the Compatibility Box approach, and calls Structured Blogging the “next era of blogging”.

• Part 1 mp3 and Notes
• Part 2 (13:26 – 12.3MB mp3)

Because of technical difficulties, we had to seriously edit the podcast. The original was over twice as long! As a result, this podcast is a series of conversations, sometimes with no transitions to set up context. (We tried using a multiple Skype setup, and it just didn’t work well.) So, I’ve provided a set of timed notes so that you know when you hit a new section.

• 0:00: Lists: “one of the holes in our structured blogging thing”
• 0:42: OPML: “technically OPML isn’t typed”
• 1:25: “I believe there is another step, the next notch of functionality that will enable folks to do things they couldn’t do before”
• 2:15: The Compatibility Box Approach
• 3:10: “We’re trying to make a better world here”
• 3:30: On Subscribing and the Future of Structured Blogging
• 5:48: What does an Structured Blogging Aggregator find when it hits a site?
• 6:54: “If we had it Paul Kedrosky‘s way, all tools vendors would stand still and do nothing”
• 7:11: “This is the next era of blogging”
• 8:03: “Structured Blogging will be a non-profit”
• 9:03: “It’s a different approach to standards-building”
• 9:31: Users making schemas: “It’s completely out of control at that point”
• 9:36: On Macromedia and Adobe mating
• 11:52: Reger.com’s new OPML feature
• 12:24: Marc’s response to Greg Yardley
