IP Democracy: USA Today and Winer Pick at Google

Google is quickly becoming the company everybody loves to hate…Exhibit one is this article in USA Today, which runs through the usual litany of complaints competitors and privacy advocates lodge against the search titan.

But my favorite is Dave Winer’s rant entitled “Google Sucks. There I said it.” His main complaint is about Google’s announcement of its web clips application.

First, why can’t they call it RSS. That’s what it’s called. Not good enough for Google. Gotta make it sound all weak and watery. Web clips. WTF is that? I don’t know. And I don’t want to know.

Winer’s let-it-all-hang-out opinion is what makes the blogosphere different from traditional media. I might not agree with his opinion, but I certainly love reading it.
