What i find most alarming about that article is Dave's line: "I learned when I met with the Tumblr guys in NY earlier this month that their feeds get pounded. The number one most referenced pages on their sites are the feeds. [..] but we had a very small fraction of the traffic that Tumblr, WordPress, Blogger, Typepad etc have. Now that I know it is an issue,"
__NOW__ that he knows its an issue?!?!?! It is time for Mr Winer to step down and stop pretending he is the all seeing RSS guru that he claims to be. I mean it is 2009 and only now he is realizing that RSS traffic makes up a significant amount of load. How can someone so ignorant to the wonders of RSS payloads be in control of designing a new protocol. Anyway ... i guess he's now at the party, so lets not berate that ... even though he is some 6 years too late!
