Apache Shindig: where does the portal end and the social application start?
,----[ Quote ]
| Shindig could end up as the open source reference implementation for
| OpenSocial, but it is still very early days. Jetspeed has certainly not been
| as universally adopted as the famous Apache webserver. As an open source
| adherent, you should not assume a coordinated master plan among Apache
| projects and definitely not count automatic universal adoption for any tool
| that has the Apache moniker.

Perspective: Microsoft's amusing standards stance
,----[ Quote ]
| One fun thing to do in Web browsers is to check how well documents
| conform to standards. For example, you can pass the URL of
| Microsoft's letter to W3C's validator. Doing so reveals that
| the letter is not written according to the HTML specification.
| The validator finds 33 errors in the most lenient mode. (One of
| the errors is the use of the "layer" element. (The "layer" element?!)
|
| Microsoft--please--if you think standards are so important,
| why not start using them?
