Feuding in Public
The highly-visible feud between Adam Curry and Dave Winer continues here. (For the record, Winer calls it a "rift.") Is it any of our business? I suppose it is, as long as Winer and Curry are both writing and podcasting about it in public.
Winer says he did a Morning Coffee Notes on the topic, but then trashed it because he was "too angry." I hope he tries again. For those of us who care about the past and future of podcasting, it would be interesting for Winer to flesh out his notion that Curry's trying to "climb the ladder" of a "major broadcasting company," and why such decisions are bad for podcasting. (I think I know what Winer would say, but why speculate?)
It really seems unfortunate that Winer and Curry are feuding in such a visible way.
UPDATE: I listened to some of Curry's third Sirius show, which he put up at Curry.com. He's obviously having a hell of a lot of fun promoting podcasts and unsigned rock bands. Again, what's the harm in that?

No harm at all in what Adam Curry's trying to do. Ribbing Adam Curry is like ribbing Microsoft: It seems fashionable to rip on those at the top. Detractors fail to realize where podcasting would be without Adam Curry.
