Dave Winer is the Mother of Invention

August 12th, 2008 by Bullshit Mancuso

Dave Winer today:

I wrote the first howto for demoers at DEMO in 1991.

And unlike some people’s howtos, this one is still on the web.

Yeah, a lot of the ideas that people claim as theirs now were in this piece, written 17 years ago.

The massive ego was too much for commenter Barry Kelly, who responded:

Dave, *incredibly* few ideas are original. You *really* need to get over your paranoia and arrogance in this respect — it’s becoming really, really wearing; it seems that I can’t hear you on a podcast or read more than 5 posts from you without you claiming ownership on this or that idea.

    Now watch out, Dave will “invent” microblogging (why is it micro-blogging and not broadcasting or broadcast messaging or broadcast IM or ….) at his little backyard gathering.

    There will be a webcast to prove it.
