On my blog I said... <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Dave Winer can be hard to get along with, but in this case he is absolutely right! Someone has rewritten podcasting history to erase his very important role and contributions. This is a shame and a travesty. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> I frequently use the wikipedia; very timely and usually informative. But in this case it's page on podcasting - which used to be very informative - has been simplified to the ridiculous. It no longer reflects the history of podcasting in an accurate manner. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> I mean come on; the history of podcasting without Winer is like the history of Apple without Wozniak - incomplete and uninformative. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> I don't know who or why this editing hack is being done to Dave, but I can tell you this. The last wikipedia page with Dave's name associated with podcasting is this one time stamped 05:56, 23 May 2005. The very next version of the page is this one time stamped 06:04, 23 May 2005 and edited by 68.174.103.8. A 'Who Is?' search on that IP address leads to this ISP: Road Runner. And the fact that the editor chose not to register with the wikipedia so as not to be identified reveals lots about his/her character. I have to leave it to others to try and carry this bit of sleuthing any further. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Anyhow, it's a shame Dave is being treated this way. Sad example of normal person + anonymity + audience = fw! I agree with Todd. On my blog I said…

I frequently use the wikipedia; very timely and usually informative. But in this case it’s page on podcasting – which used to be very informative – has been simplified to the ridiculous. It no longer reflects the history of podcasting in an accurate manner.
