Going After Grandma!

I think I like the term 'Platform of personal Expression' (PPE) better than 'Personal learning Environment' (though of course I will continue to be indifferent about the terminology. I generally agree with Dave Berlind that Dave Winer is a pioneer in the field, and basically understood all this before most people - but as someone who has been working with this stuff for just about as long, I would hardly call Winer overlooked or overdue for recognition. People know well who he is and what he has done. Is he the first this or that? "Who cares!" I think he would say, as he points to Berners-Lee as the first blogger. The points Wayne Hodgins (still) misses are (a) it's flow, it's syndication; size doesn't matter, because we don't 'assemble' it into anything, and (b) what's important about standards is not that they be low-level, but that they be simple.
