as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

So, blogging technology goes mainstream. The really cool thing about this, from my perspective (a shamefully egotistical perspective, admittedly), is that I invented Pingback. In truth, I came up with the original idea, Simon Willison and I enhanced it, it was further enhanced by various people through discussion on the Blogite mailing list, and then Hixie applied some real rigour to the thing and wrote the real spec. Nonetheless: wow. I’m well pleased with that!
