| Attention Data and RSS |
07/21/2006
|
|
|
I recently ran into Nick Bradbury (of FeedDemon
fame) at the Shareware Industry Conference. It is always
fun to catch up with Nick, and discuss changes in the industry.
While Nick does not favor RSS over Atom (or vice versa), we
both agree that from a development perspective a single standard
makes adoption easier.
We also had a great discussion about Attention
Data and large companies, like Google amassing data . Nick has some interesting
thoughts about shared data and I am interested to see how
he incorporates those thoughts into future development.
In any event it was great catching up, even if Nick's inlaws
named a goat after him, he is a really good guy! :-)

| RSS Experiment |
07/21/2006
|
|
|
Full Feed experiment from PocketPC:
We've changed our RSS feed here at Pocket PC Thoughts,
because I wanted to try an experiment. Since RSS became popular,
there's always been the tension between publisher and reader.
The reader wants to take full advantage of RSS, meaning they
want to get 100% of the content in their RSS reader so they
don't have to visit the site.

| FeedBurner Makes Acquisition |

FeedBurner appears to beefing up the statistical
information that they provide clients. From the FeedBurner
Blog:
In the syndicated content solar system in which the FeedBurner
orb spins, it helps to occasionally venture out of our galaxy
in search of intelligent life and integrated product offerings.
Long story short, we have acquired Blogbeat. In our quest to provide our publishers
with a comprehensive picture of how content is distributed
and consumed, we liked the fact that Blogbeat uses the feed
to gather additional information about the blog. We have been
interested in expanding our combined site/feed view since
FeedFlare got going some months ago, and Blogbeat will give
us the ability to provide publishers with a more thorough
statistics picture.

| Blogger Earns a House |
07/10/2006
|
|
|
Taking a paper clip and turning it into a house
sounds like a cheesy magic trick or a phony instance of resourcefulness
on the 1980s TV show "MacGyver."
Kyle MacDonald, however, has pulled it off.
One year ago, the 26-year-old blogger from Montreal set out
to barter one red paper clip for something and that thing
for something else, over and over again until he had a house.
On Wednesday the quest is ending as envisioned: MacDonald
is due to become the proud owner of a three-bedroom, 1,100-square-foot
home provided by the town of Kipling, Saskatchewan.
Paperclip to a House!

| RSS Feed Crazy |

Robin Stanton wrote a great piece about RSS.
Wow, I just did a search on Google for “RSS Feed Statistics”
and man oh man, everyone has an RSS feed. ESPN has one, The
Government has one, Ask.com, even Microsoft has implemented
an RSS feed for their new Vista operating system, and the
list just goes on for days, well at least 10 pages worth on
Google.
Did we tune out too quickly on the RSS feed craze? Well,
a year ago, we did…

| Octora A New Breed of RSS Search |
07/07/2006
|
|
|
Octora is a new RSS search engine that is currently
in beta. Enter a tag (or keyword) and Octora will find all
RSS feeds related to that keyword.
It seems to be the melding of social bookmarking (and tagging
and RSS search). Interesting concept but really not very different
from keyword searching that users are accustom to on sites
like RSS
Network .
