Between GMail (which I won't talk about) and the RSSness(which I will), Google is starting to make some interesting waves

Certainly, what I have to say is stuff that has been covered before...

And in One corner its Dave Winer, where he tests all kind of new stuff and in the other corner it's Evan Williams, Evhead is Blogging this.

My opinion? I dunno if it really matters, after all, I am just some guy in Calgary, who only recently started blogging. I don't work at MIT or Google.

I don't think it's as tinfoil hattish as some bloggers make it out to be, but If I were an advocate of a format (like RSS ferinstance) and saw that Google was ignoring my perfectly good format, I'd be left pissed and wondering. Lets face it, Google does have something of a monopoly on geek minds. Its probably well deserved, they built a hellava search engine. (Alta-who?)

On the other hand, no one at Google (who knows anything) has told me why they made this choice, So I can't instantly assume that everything is OK, its just Google thrashing about with their bot on a few hundred thousand blogs. Nothing to worry about. (I mean it's Google, right? they wouldn't do anything evil!)

But then, I am not in a hurry to put on the tin foil hat. (Which might just be a first.)
