What the “Writer’s Web” means to me

Crossposted from my WordLand test blog:

I am responding to Dave Winer’s call for posts about his post “The Writer’s Web“. 

I never left “The Writer’s Web”, as my primary web presence is my WordPress blog, where I have all the benefits of not having a tiny little text box, and support for all aspects of Textcasting, as defined by Dave Winer. I have never relied on social media as a place for my writing, so I have not been “hampered” by the user interface of such tools.

I think that WordLand will appeal to a set of users – how big that set will be is TBD. 

I do have two quibbles about  “The Writer’s Web”. For the part about “Open, for real” – sounds good, still waiting to see “the source code”. For the part about “We know how to do this. The only question is whether we choose to.”, that “we” sounds like the royal “We” to me. You go first, Dave, then maybe others will follow.
