===24 Hours of Democracy===
In February 1996, while working as a columnist for [[HotWired]], Winer organized 24 Hours of Democracy, an online protest against the recently passed [[Communications Decency Act]]. As part of the protest, over 1,000 people, among them [[Microsoft]] chairman [[Bill Gates]], posted essays to the Web on the subject of democracy, [[civil liberty]] and [[freedom of speech]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=February 22, 1996 |title="24 Hours in Democracy" Protests Telecom Act |work=Newsbytes}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=February 26, 1996 |title=Next Step on the Net |pages=A18 |newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref>

Winer's weblogging product, [[Radio Userland]], the program favored by [[Adam Curry|Curry]], had a built-in aggregator and thus provided both the "send" and "receive" components of what was then called [[Podcast|audioblogging]].<ref>Curry, Adam, October 21, 2002 ''UserNum 1014: [http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/2002/10/21.html#a2427 Cool to hear my own audio-blog...] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302043755/http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/2002/10/21.html#a2427#a2427 |date=March 2, 2009 }}''</ref><ref>Gilchrist, Harold October 27, 2002 ''Audioblog/Mobileblogging News [http://radio.weblogs.com/0100368/2002/10/27.html this morning I'm experimenting with producing an audioblogging show...] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302043822/http://radio.weblogs.com/0100368/2002/10/27.html |date=March 2, 2009 }}</ref> In July 2003 Winer challenged other aggregator developers to provide support for enclosures.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Winer |first=Dave |date=July 18, 2003 |title=How to support enclosures in aggregators |url=http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/enclosuresAggregators.html |access-date=June 12, 2009 |website=RSS 2.0 at Harvard Law}}</ref> In October 2003, [[Kevin Marks]] demonstrated a script to download RSS enclosures and pass them to [[iTunes]] for transfer to an [[iPod]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Marks |first=Kevin |date=October 4, 2003 |title=Bloggercon live video |url=http://epeus.blogspot.com/2003/10/bloggercon-live-video.html |access-date=June 12, 2009 |website=Epeus' epigone}}</ref> Curry then offered an RSS-to-iPod script<ref>{{Cite web |last=Curry |first=Adam |date=October 12, 2003 |title=RSS2iPod |url=http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/2003/10/12.html#a4604 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090222185407/http://radio.weblogs.com/0001014/2003/10/12.html#a4604#a4604 |archive-date=February 22, 2009 |access-date=June 12, 2009 |website=Adam Curry's Weblog}}</ref> that moved [[MP3]] files from [[Radio UserLand]] to [[iTunes]].

=== BloggerCon ===
{{main|BloggerCon}}
BloggerCon is a user-focused conference for the blogger community. BloggerCon I (October 2003) and II (April 2004), were organized by Dave Winer and friends at Harvard Law School's Berkman Center for the Internet and Society in Cambridge, Mass. BloggerCon III met at [[Stanford Law School]] on November 6, 2004.<ref name=":0" />

===Weblogs.com===
{{main|Weblogs.com}}
Weblogs.com provided a free [[ping-server]] used by many [[weblog|blogging]] applications, as well as free hosting to many bloggers. After leaving [[Userland Software|Userland]], Winer claimed personal ownership of the site, and in mid-June 2004 he shut down its free blog-hosting service, citing lack of resources and personal problems.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Lord |first=Timothy |date=June 15, 2004 |title=Hosting Service Closes 3000 Blogs Without Notice |url=http://slashdot.org/articles/04/06/15/2354258.shtml?tid=126&tid=95 |access-date=May 11, 2009 |website=Slashdot}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Lord |first=Timothy |date=June 17, 2005 |title=Slashback: Munich, Harlan, Alacrity |url=http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/06/17/2326207&tid=167&tid=108&tid=163 |access-date=May 11, 2009 |website=Slashdot}}</ref> A swift and orderly migration off Winer's server was facilitated by  [[Rogers Cadenhead]],<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Kramer |first=Staci D |date=June 23, 2004 |title=Weblogs.com Rises From the Flames |magazine=Wired |url=https://www.wired.com/print/culture/lifestyle/news/2004/06/63953 |url-status=dead |access-date=August 8, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111018120246/https://www.wired.com/print/culture/lifestyle/news/2004/06/63953 |archive-date=October 18, 2011}}</ref> whom Winer then hired to port the server to a more stable platform.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Calore |first=Michael |date=March 1, 2007 |title=Best Blogfights of 2006 |magazine=Wired |url=https://www.wired.com/print/techbiz/it/news/2007/01/72396 |url-status=dead |access-date=August 8, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111018120346/https://www.wired.com/print/techbiz/it/news/2007/01/72396 |archive-date=October 18, 2011}}</ref>  In October 2005, [[VeriSign]] bought the Weblogs.com [[Ping blog|ping-server]] from Winer and promised that its free services would remain free. The [[podcast]]ing-related web site audio.weblogs.com was also included in the $2.3&nbsp;million deal.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Naraine |first=Ryan |date=October 6, 2005 |title=VeriSign Acquires Dave Winer's Weblogs.com |magazine=[[eWeek]] |url=http://www.eweek.com/enterprise-apps/verisign-acquires-dave-winers-weblogs-com/ |access-date=May 8, 2009}}</ref>

Winer opened his self-described "commons for sharing outlines, feeds, and taxonomy" in May 2006.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Arrington |first=Michael |date=May 7, 2006 |title=Share Your OPML |url=https://techcrunch.com/2006/05/07/share-your-opml/ |access-date=June 8, 2009 |website=TechCrunch}}</ref> The site allowed users to publish and syndicate [[blogroll]]s and [[feed aggregator|aggregator]] subscriptions using [[OPML]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bellinger |first=Amy |title=Getting Acquainted with OPML |date=October 17, 2006 |publisher=O'Reilly Media, Inc. |isbn=978-0-596-52822-5 |location=Sebastopol, CA |pages=5–7}}</ref> Winer suspended its service in January 2008.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Winer, Dave |date=January 23, 2008 |title=Share.opml.org, retired |url=http://www.scripting.com/stories/2008/01/23/shareopmlorgRetired.html |access-date=June 8, 2009 |website=Scripting News}}</ref>

===Rebooting the News===
Since 2009, Winer has collaborated with [[New York University]]'s associate professor of journalism [[Jay Rosen]] on ''Rebooting the News'', a weekly [[podcast]] on technology and innovation in journalism.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Windsor |first=Tim |date=April 20, 2009 |title=Rebooting The News: Dave Winer and Jay Rosen on saving journalism |url=http://www.niemanlab.org/2009/04/rebooting-the-news-dave-winer-and-jay-rosen-talk-about-saving-journalism/ |access-date=January 22, 2011 |website=" Nieman Journalism Lab}}</ref> It was announced on July 1, 2011, that the show would be on break, as NYU itself was, from June to September.
