Robert Scoble has two nice posts (one / two) on a user's view of formats, specs, code and protocols. I'm with him. It's also (sort of) the subject of today's podcast in which I'll talk a little about Apple's extensions of RSS 2.0 for the iTunes store. I don't particularly care that Apple has its own set of RSS codes for iTunes. What bothers me is that Apple provided no application that would allow users to write their RSS data in the iTunes preferred format. And Apple didn't give the developers of blogging tools a peak of what was coming so their tools could support the Apple extensions.
