If you want a simple format that lets you notify subscribers when your sites content is updated, and makes it easy to include a few lines of that content so they can decide whether or not it interests them, RSS 2.0 fits the bill perfectly. Its genius is its simplicity -- and simplicity, whether in furniture design or software design, is a high virtue."http://www.zeldman.com/daily/0703a.shtml#rsstango Next stop -- Silicon Valley!- July 11, 2003 On Saturday I leave Portland and head south to Silicon Valley. It's the first time I'll ever stay in a hotel there, after living there for 23 years. So the question most on my mind: where should I stay I want a Best Western type place, low cost, easy in easy out, air conditioning and most important, great Internet access for not much money.

Maybe something like "Don't cross the street in the middle in the middle in the middle in the middle in the middle of the blog. Teach your eyes to look out. Teach your ears to hear. Walk up to the corner and wait until the coast is clear." I'm going to do a Google image search right now. Try this one.http://backend.userland.com/checkingInWithMrSafe Chad Dickerson: RSS Killed the Infoglut Star- July 3, 2003 Chad Dickerson: "When I started using an RSS newsreader daily, some remarkable things happened that I didn't necessarily expect: I began to spend almost no time surfing to keep up with current technology information, and I was suddenly able to manage a large body of incoming information with incredible efficiency. My newsreader has become so integral that it's now sitting in my Windows startup folder along with my e-mail client and contact manager.

RFC: Subscriptions Harmonizer Web Service- July 2, 2003 The problem: I subscribe to a feed at home but my aggregator at work doesn't know about it. And vice versa. This is an RFC, a first implementation and a bootstrap for an XML-RPC-based network service that synchronizes subscriptions across different aggregators. I posted it here so people could comment on it and ask questions in the comment section below.http://www.xmlrpc.com/subsHarmonizer |
