Unfortunately today I learned today Aaron Swartz is no longer with us. I will keep this blog post very short, but I thought I make a small tribute to him. He became a strong influence on web technologies at an early age, helping sculpt RSS 1.0 as well as played a key role in Reddit.com. Not a lot of people know him and probably will never, but this young guy fought for our information freedoms by putting a spotlight on JSTOR’s “premium” approach to academic material. If you don’t know him, please look him up. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.
