A big group hug in the browser war

Posted under Web/Tech

If you are like me and you use an alternative to what used to be the standard Internet Explorer web browser (Go Opera!), you’ve probably experienced some sites not loading properly, flash plugin issues, scrolling problems, etc. Apparently there is a Web Standards Project (WaSP) in the works which would put an end to all of these headaches. Microsoft may even play nice too!

If not a big group hug, expect a round of drinks with Web Standards Project members and the Internet Explorer team at the Blog Business Summit. As CNET reports, there’s, “Peace on the standards front.” The reporting is well-researched, includes quotes from Zeldman, and many of the people behind the scenes will be at the Summit, including me Molly, Scoble, and Dean Hachamovitch. Besides the hell freezeth over fact that we can all get along, there may also be a few more surprises.
