Scripting News at 30

Dave Winer's blog turns 30 as he talks about the evolution of content creation on the internet.
Blogging started as a programming adventure and eventually became a form of literature, says Winer.
His blog began as a means to test a script he had written which sent emails on his Mac using Eudora.
Winer is known for his technical achievements, but he attributes his success to listening to users.
One of those achievements was his role in developing RSS that allows users to keep track of many different websites in a single application.
Winer is optimistic about the future of blogging and hopes to find a blogosphere buried within WordPress.
John Gruber notes that Winer's writing voice is distinctive and impossible to imagine in any medium other than the web.
Winer believes blogging is lost and suggests that people post on their blog instead of social media sites.
The rise and encroachment of walled garden tech companies like Google and Facebook into the public sphere Tim Berners-Lee imagined is discussed.
It is noted that tech corporations would be able to algorithmically curate free speech, intensively surveil speakers and mine data for advertising purposes.
