Also love this quote:

"What half-forgotten old protocol might be revived and repurposed?

Consider the example of #RSS. Designed for blogs and news websites, its greatest success had nothing to do with those formats: RSS is the protocol that powers podcasting, all of it, under the hood, invisibly.

Where else is there wiring already in place? What new signals might you send through it?"

@tchambers @davew It's a pity that RSS is such an ill-conceived "standard". Nobody knows what good RSS is or how it should be used.
