Joel Spolsky: It would be convenient if you could put the Content-Type of the HTML file right in the HTML file itself, using some kind of special tag. Of course this drove purists crazy... how can you read the HTML file until you know what encoding it's in?!

The same thing is true of XML.  It is easy to eliminate what remains the single largest source of invalid feeds.  Take a moment and ensure that the first line of your feeds look like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Or, if you happen to be on a Windows platform and have a tendency to cut and paste content that may have so-called smart quotes in it, use the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>

Finally, while I don't know of a single feed parser that cares about the charset specified on the Content-Type header, it doesn't hurt to make it match.  Technically, if you use text/xml, the default is supposed to override what is specified in the document itself.  You can avoid this by simply using application/xml instead.

Why Rafe Needleman is Just Plain Wrong

Why Rafe Needleman is Just Plain Wrong 12/30/2002 10:46 AM
Why Rafe Needleman is Just Plain Wrong Rafe is a long time PC industry analyst and writer that I've been reading for years and years. So I hate to write this piece but I just have to. His latest article for Business 2.0 is titled this: Is Outlook the Next Windows? How companies accessorize Outlook -- and the danger in doing so. By Rafe Needleman, December 04, 2002 [_Go_] If you are skimming over the table of contents in the magazine or just look at the heading and subheading of this article then you'd think that there is something technically wrong or even dangerous with "accessorizing" Outlook. That's not the thrust of the article at all. What he actually means is that its dangerous for the company making the enhancements to Outlook not for the users of the product. Here's the start of the article: Outlook itself is not just an application but also a platform for software, like Windows. There are enough Outlook users to make a nice market (according to Microsoft (MSFT), there are 300 million users of Office, the suite that Outlook is bundled with). So, for obvious reasons, many software companies look at this and see a nice business opportunity. That's right. It is a nice business opportunity. Sure it isn't an Oracle size opportunity but a lot of us aren't looking for that. We're building businesses that solve real problems for customers. And if the best place to solve a customer's problem is at the Outlook level then so be it. Rafe goes on to say: But developing for Outlook is not the same as developing for Windows. People write applications for Windows. Outlook, though, is an application itself, and for it you write plug-ins and companions -- two options that give me the willies. To sell an application add-on, you first have to convince somebody who bought the application that it's incomplete. With an operating system, this is part of the deal -- it's a shell by design. Plug-ins are grudge purchases (or subscriptions, which is how many of the newer products are sold). Yes. So what? This is a business choice. You factor it into your overall business model and marketing plan. One of the benefits to this approach is that when you build to Outlook you don't have to convince people to migrate client software, to worry about upgrading their applications and to change how they do their daily work. It just gets better -- within the framework of tools they already know. Note -- I'm not saying that this is necessarily an easy thing to convince people -- but try convincing them to move away from Outlook when they get it for "free" as part of office. Now that's a big marketing challenge. The honest truth is that it is just plain hard now a days to convince people to buy software at all when so much of it is free. Next Rafe says: And developers always have to worry that the next version of the target application either will be incompatible with their plug-in or, worse, will include its functionality. And the better the application product is, the more likely it becomes that the latter will occur. If your solution is likely to boost sales of the app, you're going to end up fighting Microsoft when the company builds it in (unless the Redmond behemoth buys your company outright, which you cannot count on). Talk about being a victim of success. Yup. But this is always an issue when you deal with Microsoft. Or with Apple. Sure Microsoft could put our functionality into Outlook. But they could also put anti-virus into Windows and kill Norton. Or they could put drawing tools into Office and kill Adobe. Look at what Apple did to Karelia with Watson [_Go_]. This is the nature of being a small (or even large) software developer today. There aren't any "safe" places in the ecosystem to create products anymore: If you enhance an office suite then you face Microsoft Enhance the Mac and Apple might bury you Want to play in the database world then you could be SQL Server'd to death, have an Oracle sit on you or get "freed" by MySQL But then again .... Were there ever any safe places? I've been shipping software products since 1987 and while I'll admit that once upon a time it might have been easier but it was never safe. The high tech industry has always been hugely competitive. So I think Rafe's thesis really is that it is hard to build a company by enhancing a product rather than an operating system. That's a good thesis but everything is hard right now. Also as more and more companies slow down the pace of moving to newer versions of Windows and Office, the strategy of "enhance NOT replace" becomes much more viable. Bias Disclaimer: I run one of those companies, Inbox Buddy, which "accessorizes" Outlook. We made an intentional choice to build our email technologies on top of Outlook and don't regret it for a second.

Happy News Site Has Potential To Be Just
Plain Sad

Happy News Site Has Potential To Be Just
Plain Sad 06/22/2005 02:17 AM
Collaborative "citizen reported" news sites are all the rage these days, so some bizarre take on the trend was surely inevitable. The development in question is the imminent launch of HappyNews.com, which will focus only on -- you guessed it -- happy news. As opposed to the various wiki-style sites that get ordinary people to volunt arily write stories, HappyNews will operate more like Ohmyne ws, which pays people for their efforts. The paid-submission approach sounds worthwhile and ripe for testing in the US, but that's where the logic ends. The focus on only good news -- which apparently has been tried before -- is just a problematic premise. We're all for reforming the media's tendency to harp on the worst news possible and we wish HappyNews luck in their goal of supplementing traditional news, but perhaps there's a reason there haven't been any successful "happy news" outlets: happy isn't news. If a story with a positive angle is at all newsworthy, it will mostly likely either be: 1) picked up by traditional media, 2) a feel-good ditty typically relegated the end of local newscasts along with the one about the waterskiing squirrel, or 3) all of the above.
