Don is suprised, but Sam is mistaken
Sam Gentile says that Don Box needs to get out into the streets and talk to customers, and says that he would find, among other things: No one cares about Web Services in real usage (only geeks think they’re cool). Sam, I know you’re out working with customers, but maybe you should talk to a [...]

This is worth re-posting…the feed validator has moved to http://feedvalidator.org. There are other validators out there, but this is the only one really worth using, IMHO. The Feed Validator, previously located at feeds.archive.org/validator/, now has its own domain: feedvalidator.org. If you have any scripts, templates, or applications that point to the Feed Validator, now would [...]
