On Friday Dave Winer recorded a podcast which has data that everyone in the blogosphere should know about. It is an appeal for developers & users to work together. That is always how I’ve felt here on microblog. Not being a developer, I was surprised that Manton did his own thing and never asked for input from users like me, who were using Android, not Apple, and had a lot of experience in using Dave’s blogging tools. I thought he would see users as a valuable source of ideas, as Dave did in developing his software.

Dave has unusual clarity of thought in this recording. I hope those involved with Indieblogging would listen to him, take it to heart and help to make the blogosphere grow in a healthy way.
