"How is this surprising to people? Is not the web considered by many to be in its second iteration? Don’t people recognize computer software upgrades and updates are constantly released? You can even think about your local city street and its evolution from dirt or gravel to asphalt, and the continual repaving and pothole repairing. The world is in beta, with people birthing and dying every day." - Ari Herzog

"News to me...but I've been tweeting less and less since migrating from Tweetdeck to Seesmic Desktop last month, so the API has never tanked. Any word if it's a selective change, though?" - Ari Herzog

"Along with your great tips above, I’d add that such a hire ought to not merely have a “professional presence” on SN sites but be prolific as a networking to increase brand awareness, etc. Yet, do you want to know how often I look up the profiles of so-called “social media speakers” and learn to my dismay they broadcast on Twitter 9x more than replying or retweeting; have sparse LinkedIn profiles; and when googling their names are hard to be found?" - Ari Herzog

"I posed a series of questions to Councilor Hutcheson on a blog post 13 months ago when he first proposed it. In sum: 1. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have proclaimed a “National Child’s Day” for the past eight years to occur the first Monday in June. In his last address, Bush said "we underscore our commitment to our children and pledge to provide them with the care, protection, and education they deserve." How is your proposed day of honor different than this? 2. Looking down the road, do you care whether this “national day of honor” is a new federal holiday declared by Congress, an observance proclaimed by the President, or a national day observed by some association (such as National Teacher Day by the NEA)? Just curious. 3. The idea of a national day to honor children of parents who serve the country is vague. How do you define serving the country? If Willie Lincoln is the inspiration, are you including children of parents who are elected or appointed government..." - Ari Herzog

"Echoing bits from several commenters above me, I frequently hear from people who ask me to define 1) Twitter; and 2) RSS.There may be a critical mass of people using (or hearing about) Twitter but that doesn't mean they know about its uses other than writing they are eating sandwiches and taking walks, aka what they are doing.The mass of people who don't know about RSS are typically those who don't read blogs. I met someone this week who was confused about what a blog was and asked for a definition.When you consider I stumbled across this blog post of yours, Mitch, via a feed reader is indicative RSS isn't dying anytime soon." - Ari Herzog
