Kurt Cagles speaks to GenerationXML

Understanding XML: The XML Generation

I believe that we are looking at another cohort in the process of forming (which I also believe readily marks some good opportunities down the road for investors). I call these people Generation XML (with a nod to my good friend M. David Peterson, who first suggested the term).

Hey cool! Thanks for the nod Kurt :D

This is a nice overview that Kurt has brought together thats definitely worth the read. I actually have planned for quite some time to take GenerationXML.com and create an XML development community group blog/e-zine as a place where members of the XML generation can publish their work, communicate with others, etc... But with as many projects as I have going at one time there nevers seems to be the time to build it. I think that the framework that is coming together for ChannelXML (using my UI/Desktop extension project, WWWebTop, as the core UI and framework that it extends from) would fit quite nicely with what I envisioned the GenerationXML project to be so maybe I can kill 10 birds (binarily (sp?) speaking) with 1 stone (unfortunately 1 is just 1 in binary so no "oh look how clever you are :)" points can be gained... actually they probably can't be gained with "10" either... hmmmm, Damn!

I will add GenerationXML.com to my potential Channel for ChannelXML list as I think it would fit quite nicely into this arena. More on this "Real Soon Now." :)
