OMG, *Winer?* Captain Tantypants? Advising a leader of a global superpower? That is the funniest thing I've read all weekend and it's only Saturday lunchtime.
Yes, he's a greybeard in blogging and whatnot, but he's also a tantrum-throwing egotist who can't put a lid on it.
For what it's worth, I'd pick Bruce Schneier.

He knows RSS and blogging? That's like endorsing someone as a Nascar driver because they can work the windshield wipers.

Bad idea. You need someone with some level of political experience and personal diplomacy and Dave ain't it.

For real? That's it? I kept scanning for the punchline.
Where's the snark? Did Pirillo steal it? Make him give it back!

Because he's done great things lately, huh? Flickrfan?
Plus, winer's a bit of a loose gun, dare I say, a little off. That's great on his own blog. But I'm not sure anyone in Obama's shoes would want to be associated with him.

Right. Or not.
Want a *real* list of options? Ones that avoid the Web 2.0 crap and idiotic proposals?
LMFAO.. i didn't have the right words.. but these would be them..

wait.... article is serious?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Dave Winer is too twatish to be a pityable retard, and too retarded to be an entertaining twat. He's like the late-term abortion of mediocrity, the unfortunately-perforated of pomposity, the platform-shoes of web2.0 fanboi-dom. I could go on....

Dave Winer is probably the last person that should be put on such a list. If you really get to know him he really isn't that technical. Just read some of his blog posts on how he can't figure out some very simple networking etc. He is also one of the most arrogant people you'd ever want to meet. It is either his way or the highway. Absolutely horrible team player.

He's a good programmer, but his personality is abhorrent. I'm sure he'd love to have such a gig, if for no other reason than his own self-aggrandizement.
