While Monzel graciously drove me back to my hotel after dinner last night, we started to rehash Bloggercon. Dave had asked Niall to use half of his time to teach us how easy it is to read an RSS file.
What we quickly came to was the issue we had with spending our time simply talking about what we wanted. In this case the room seemed to want an answer to archiving and securing online data.
In the time it took getting from PT’s apartment to the Triton we came to the conclusion that a simple upgrade in syndication specs should allow for easy archiving. A lot of time was spent talking about the sort of things we wanted from software during Pirillo’s Users in Charge session (mp3) and that theme really should’ve been carried over into Dave’s idea.
The desire to stay tightly on-topic prevented real change from happening. We had the one of the architects of the RSS standard sitting in the room, and we sat around talking about what we wanted rather than changing things in real time. Monzel and I agreed that the value of yesterday’s time could’ve been grown significantly if the room had rallied around making change instead of asking for it.
