Dave Winer slips further into hatred-laden insanity
Would someone who loves this guy please explain to him how crazy he sounds? In a bizarre Boston Globe article, over which I almost inadvertantly upchucked coffee this morning, Radioland create Dave Winer expresses his absolute hatred of Google which, like any company that becomes super popular, is starting to come under fire from jealous competitors and users. "[Does Google] have a right to [draw users to its Blogger service via the popular Google toolbar for Internet Explorer]? Absolutely," Winer admits. "But I also have a right to hate them." The reason Winer really hates Google, of course, is that Blogger is free, while Winer charges an arm and a leg for his very similar software. In other words, Winer is on the wrong side of the free software debate, and it's hitting him right where it counts.
