Dave Winer as metaphor
A review of the latest TechCrunch barbeque (one wonders how many people wanted to help cook, Aussie-style) included a snippet about how Dave Winer is perceived amongst the "Web 2.0" crowd:
Hmm, a rudder, I don't know. Here's a list of more apposite analogies I could think of:
I got the feeling he serves as a rudder in this almost overwhelming wave of creativity swelling in the young and talented of Silicon Valley. They want direction, and he's giving it to them, ever so gently.
Hmm, a rudder, I don't know. Here's a list of more apposite analogies I could think of:
| Dave Winer | "Web 2.0" crowd |
|---|---|
| Mr Miyagi | The Karate Kid |
| Takashi | Booger |
| Barry the Time Sprout | Elvis Presley (plus Barry's other hosts in the Robert Rankin books) |
| Obi Wan Kenobi | Luke Skywalker (Anakin is so 1.0) |
| Tripitaka | Monkey, Sandy and Pigsy |
| John the Baptist | The new Jesus |

Ooh, I just thought of another one. The Web is AC/DC, Bon Scott was 1.0 and Dave Evans is 2.0. That would make Dave Winer the ultimate symbol of the band: Angus Young. Can't you just imagine Dave wearing a schoolboy uniform, pickin' the licks while doing the Johnny B. Goode?
