I'd like to announce a talk and meeting that may be of interest to iSchoolers.

On Wednesday, September 9th, local blogger Dave Winer, one of the originators of the RSS syndication format, will talk about a new proposal called rssCloud, which allows for Twitter-like instantaneous distribution of short messages in a decentralized way, based on existing RSS technology.

After an overview of that proposal, developers can share their own work in the area and there will be an open discussion.

So if you're interested in an alternative to Twitter that isn't controlled by a single company or want to see how a new standard is designed or implemented in practice, please join us Wednesday at 7 PM in 110 South Hall.

Thanks,
Nick
