what is Radio Userland? LAST post

["Editor" <editor@content-wire.com>]

Dave W - Sorry I missed your dine in A'dam, saw the pictures
Will catch up next time you are in Europe to meet you in person

Just to say that I  wrote to you a while back, off the list,  saying I want
to do an article about RU
 But need some specific answers to understand the concept a little more, in
my own terms

I know you are busy, hope you find some time coz perhaps those
Answers make a clearer picture for others too (glad Dave C brought up the
issue)

Hope you find some time sometimes to deal with that email

Totally fascinated by the cloud concept, still little beyond my grasp
Sky's the limit, so they say


Cheers

Subject: [syndication] what is Radio Userland?

Okay, maybe I'm showing my ignorance, but I'd like a nice, layman's terms
overview of Radio Userland.

Now, I've read the Radio information at Userland and I still don't get it. I
downloaded it and couldn't figure it out. I couldn't find any instructions,
or anything, so I dismissed it as trivial fluff that one developer was
building for a very tiny audience of users.

I don't have time to tinker with it and play with it to figure out what it
does and how it does it. I need the "Radio is a weblog editor and syndicator
that can also consume XML blah blah blah" version with more details
available on-demand.

To be honest, Dave, I lost track of what you were doing once you introduced
the "cloud" concept and enclosures into RSS. I just don't get it at all. I
mean, this seems nice and all -- kind of in the way wipers are nice to have
on headlights -- but since I don't get it I just dismiss it as unimportant.
It just seems to me that it's written by Frontier developers for Frontier
users, and it's just a pain for me to wrap my head around the Frontier way
of doing business, so I don't even bother. Maybe there's something I'm
missing here -- if so please educate me.

I'd also like to hear from any users who are/were in the same boat and
managed to figure it out.

This is probably also partially responsible for me leaning towards RSS 1.0
-- I look at RSS .92 and .93 and just scratch my head and grunt like a
caveman. With 1.0 I can immediately see benefits to adoption.

Thanks,
-dave
