AMAZING – Gizmodo (being ten years) acts like a mature member of the web and points ot Dave Winer – as a key figure in the web.  Crediting him with blogging and RSS – Dave was asked to write up how he thought up blogging and then they held an open forum with Dave – yesterday.  Dear readers – please indulge me – as I sit here in Cleveland – Dave mentions me.  Its all a true story.  So thank you Dave, thank you Gizmodo and thank you – Jimmi Cagney for portraying George M. Cohan for well.
