A somewhat contentious software developer, something like
RMS, but in the
personalization and
weblog field. Responsible for a precursor to
RSS,
weblog hosting, content distribution,
forum software, and a bunch of other interesting ideas such as
scriptingNews,
userland and
editthispage. He is generally focussed on promoting individual, non-commercial content and
online communities.
Is also like RMS in that one reason he's famous is because of his ego and tendency for quarrelling with Tim O'Reilly.
