• The web is not a library
• Old metaphor
• The web is a realtime global conversation (Roland's note: amen! Dave!)

Gatz of Yahoo

• Geeks/Early adopters are not Yahoo's audience, we can't make money off of geeks so we can't build in OPML syncing and attention.xml
• Roland's response: the geeks/early adopters are a big enough audience for Yahoo to make money IMHO
