"The open web was built on assumptions such as that visitors are mostly human, that traffic roughly tracks readership, and that the cost of serving your site is related to the value you get from serving it. Every one of those assumptions is now out of date." /by @wlaatje at https://hci.social/@wlaatje@social.edu.nl/116970826703099287

The entire article is a treasure. I’ve realized that the original core harware and software design team paints a quite different picture of the historic events. Sure, Mac inherited concepts and people from Lisa. But also the Apple II philosophy has played a remarkable role; e.g. save chips to drive down the prise tag.

Stebe Jobs (October 1983): If you read the Apple's first brochure, the headline was “Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.”

IMO Aspen Movie Map (1981) has still better concepts than google maps & #streetview today.

About RSS Enterprise
Before (a)social media, the web used to be social. Each and every Web 2.0 site used to offer its info pebbles also as an RSS feed. RSS (really simple syndication) is a standardized XML format (extensible markup language) that an RSS reader app can import and display. Some of this information infrastructure has survived and can be revived by the web app RSS Enterprise on this page.
The primary use case is Mastodon. But as it turns out, RSS feeds provided by at least BlueSky, tumblr, WordPress, SpeakerDeck, Pinterest, and Wordpress can also be displayed here.
For Mastodon in specific, there are a few special features:
- You can click Mastodon tags to load the tag’s content. Try #SciFiEtiquette or #trendytoots
Discover more insights at the tag #RSSEnterprise itself. - You can click a Mastodon user to display her feed.
Try @mprove or @chronohh - You can drag any RSS feed URL from any web page to the cover above and drop it into the river. This does also work for Mastodon users and hash tags, as well as for blogspot, pinterest, substack, and tumblr.
The menu command Edit > Paste of an RSS address is also possible, but less exciting.
Of course, you can always fiddle around with the parameters in the browser’s address bar:
RSS Enterprise parameter info
- rss=
- The feed url or a dropable blog URL
Support for multiple Mastodon hash tags; e.g. get the combined tags #ComputerHistory #HistoryOfComputers #HistoryOfComputing #chm with this RSS Enterprise link - rss2=
- A second feed to be displayed; but no support for multiple tags
- roundrobin
- Optional parameter to flip-flop between two feeds instead of sorting them chronologically
stay curious – share the links – have fun! Matthias
