It was great to see Nick Bradbury start to talk about the same idea I was talking about earlier; a discussion about the attributes of attention we’d like to see collected:
“What I propose is that aggregator users and developers have an open discussion about what specific attention data could (and should) be collected by aggregators.”
Nick [...]
Close on the heels of my previous post about attention data formats (though certainly not prompted by it), Alex Barnett and Kevin Burton post a podcast (mp3) about, in part, OPML as attention data.
There’s some good stuff in there, not least the discussion of TailRank, which is the first attention-ranked content engine I’ve seen. [...]
I have another reason to add to Steve’s list of Top Ten Reasons Dave Winer doesn’t care about attention.
Dave’s seemingly a person of many strongly-held opinions. One that echos in my recollections of Dave’s writing was quotably reiterated just a few days ago:

Here’s a scenario sure to be familiar to most of you:You’re in your feed reader, and you’re scanning your feeds to see what’s new [...]
Long delay since last posting; I’ve been busy breaking Rojolicious and putting it back together, working on the start of a response to Scoble’s request for a service, which is a lead-in to some stuff I want to do with attentionxml. Ai; not enough hours in the day!
In other news, I also opened a [...]
Rojo - Stories I’ve Shared
After an invite from Allen Searls, I was able to register for Rojo, almost exactly when they announced their own launch. S0 far I really like it.
