Winer started DaveNet, “a stream-of-consciousness newsletter distributed by e-mail” in November 1994 and maintained Web archives of the “goofy and informative” 800-word essays since January 1995, which earned him a Cool Site of the Day award in March 1995. From the start, the “Internet newsletter” DaveNet was widely read among industry leaders and analysts, who experienced it as a “real community.” Dissatisfied with the quality of the coverage that the Mac and, especially, his own Frontier software received in the trade press, Winer saw DaveNet as an opportunity to “bypass” the conventional news channels of the software business. Satisfied with his success, he “reveled in the new direct email line he had established with his colleagues and peers, and in his ability to circumvent the media.” In the early years, Winer often used DaveNet to vent his grievances against Apple’s management, and as a consequence of his strident criticism came to be seen as “the most notorious of the disgruntled Apple developers.” Redacted DaveNet columns were published weekly by the web magazine HotWired between June 1995 and May 1996. DaveNet was discontinued in 2004.
