TypeKey?

Mark Pilgrim, Dive Into Mark, Mar 22, 2004

Mark Pilgrim somehow turns a criticism of SixApart's TypeKey authentication feature into a criticism of Dave Winer. I understand Pilgrim's plaints, but it's distracting and turns us away from what should be the main point, which is this: "The first fact to consider is that TypeKey is the wrong solution, because it’s centralized. This is more of an axiom, really, and not open for debate... Also, weblogs are all about decentralization... There’s not a single instance of a centralized service in the weblogging community that works well and scales." That's basicly it. You can read the rest, but it's just, well, rude.
