The Beginning  —  Edgeio is all about edge publishing.  It is our belief that services that try to restrict how users create and consume information cannot ultimately be successful.  Users own their data, and services exist not to silo that data, but rather to add value to it.

Hey Doc — how about allowing comments?  —  I know I've been kind of a one-shtick pony on the whole blogs and comment meme, but when I spot an opportunity to flog a dead horse I just can't pass it up.  In this case, it's the recent post by Doc Searls in which he laments the fact that he is a "gatekeeper" in the new media universe.

Jeff Jarvis / BuzzMachine:
Small is the new big is the new line  —  Back in June, I wrote, inspired by some posts by Seth Godin, that small is the new big.  Seth was similarly inspired by his own posts and wrote that small is the new big.  Seth liked the line so much he used it as the title of his new book (and was nice enough to acknowledge the synchronicity).
Matt Croydon / Postneo 2.0:

BTW, while we're on the topic of APIs, here's something you might not know.  When I put things like the MetaWeblog API up for review, the flamer-fans almost immediately drown out the discussion, so we're left with a spec that's not complete (but pretty good in the end).
