Linux can give kids an edge 09/17/2004 04:12 AM
Have you ever thought about turning your kid into a computer geek? While we might not want to go quite that far, as savvy future professionals, they'll no doubt need wide ranging computer skills. Linux offers youngsters a richly featured, comprehensive, hands-on environment that they can use to learn about applications, networks, servers, and how to make it all work together. If you work with them, you can even start to instill some of your hard-earned business acumen, as well.

Aggregator inside aggregator

Aggregator inside aggregator 09/21/2004 10:57 PM
You know whenever people post screenshots of emulators, how it can be weird to see Windows running on a Mac? (Even weirder if you actually use an emulator, until you get used to it.)

Here’s a similar side effect of having embedded a browser in NetNewsWire. (Click for full-size screen shots.)



Even though it’s odd, there’s actually a point to it—we discovered that some people use multiple aggregators. One for fun stuff and one for work, that kind of thing.

If one is browser-based and the other embeds a browser, then, well, hey, you’ve got something like the above.

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids

Presents For Bad Kids Head To eBay,
Rather Than Kids 12/27/2004 04:42 AM
Well, normally, people wait until after they've received presents to dump them on eBay. However, one father who felt his three sons were being particularly bad lately decided that to punish them he's putting their presents up for sale on eBay. To be honest, this sounds like a bit of a publicity stunt -- and it seems likely that, now that this is getting attention, that casino that seems to be buying e very random quirky auction item will snap this one up. Update: Whoops. It's apparently already happened. Indeed, the casino in question has d ecided to buy the undelivered presents. This is sort of an update on our story last year about how sellers were increasingly looking to use eBay as a publicity generating tool. It appears that's now being used by buyers to generate publicity, as well.

MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids

MP3 Players Aren't Just For Kids; In
Fact They're Barely For Kids 12/19/2004 03:47 PM
The common bit of wisdom is that MP3s are a young person's technology. It's the teens and the folks just coming out of college that are the MP3 generation, after all, so they'd be the most likely to own an MP3 player, right? Not at all, apparently. A new study says that 90% of MP3 player owners over 34 years old. While this may have something to do with the high price of many of the best MP3 players, the numbers still don't seem right. It would be interesting to see the methodology behind this study. That's not to say that those over 34 aren't likely to own an MP3 player, but it's hard to believe that 90% of MP3 players go to those 35 and older.

Yahoo Aggregator

Yahoo Aggregator 01/07/2004 06:17 PM

Yahoo is beta testing an RSS Aggregator that integrates into the My Yahoo service, but their advertising of it has fallen flat. Because I choose the contents of a My Yahoo page, I have a sense of ownership of the page. Personalized pages tend to evoke that feeling. So imagine my surprise when I open My Yahoo today and find that there’s a new content module for RSS added to the top of the page. I wasn’t sure whether to feel excited or violated. It’s great that Yahoo is embracing RSS, but they messed with my page.

Nevertheless I tried testing it, but when trying to add feeds or search for feeds, I received a message saying that I didn’t have access. Curious to see if I’d get the same message if I tried removing the module, I hit the remove button. Now it’s gone and there doesn’t seem to be a way to add it back.

It might seem strange that I’m complaining that I can’t get something back when I didn’t want it in the first place, but it goes back to that sense of ownership. I know that content module exists, but I can’t add it to my page.

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator

NewsGator: Beyond the Aggregator 07/03/2004 09:23 PM

Why Did We Invest in NewsGator?: Here's a post from a venture capitalist about why he invested in NewsGator.

The misperception is that NewsGator is only an Outlook plug-in. While the most popular product from NewsGator is currently their Outlook-based aggregator, what really turned us on when we dug into NewsGator as a potential investment is NewsGator Online Services (NGOS).

Greg Reinacker's vision is much broader than simply an RSS aggregator - his goal is to provide RSS content on any device. NewsGator currently provides clients for Outlook, the Web, POP email, mobile devices (web-based and wap), and Microsoft Media Center (how cool is it to get an RSS feed on your TV?).

He makes a good point — NewsGator has really extended past Outlook. They started with that, and the Outlook plug-in is what they're most well-known for, but I just wrapped up 30 days with Newsgator Online Services (NOS), and I can tell you that they've deftly transcended the aggregator.

While working with NOS, I got the...feeling, that news and information was just out there, everywhere, and it was up to me how I wanted to receive it. They have options to push information to about any device, on any platform. I've never felt more saturated by news in my life than during those 30 days.

Information was everywhere — so much so that I stopped thinking in terms of this aggreagtor or that protocol. I was just swimming in information, and the method in which I chose to receive it was almost incidental. Petty, even.

Yahoo Re-aggregator 01/23/2004 01:23 AM

After a false start earlier this month, My Yahoo now has an RSS aggregator.

When the module appeared on my Yahoo and I complained about it, I was informed by Yahoo employees that it was a bug that caused the pre-beta module to show up on some My Yahoo pages. It wasn’t an intentional marketing effort, but the buzz created by the snafu didn’t hurt Yahoo’s cause.

The module isn’t yet available on the standard list of My Yahoo modules. To add it you’ll need to go to add.my.yahoo.com/rss.

In a comment, Kevin Jordan writes: 348North News is a normal aggregator in much of the way you think of it. However, it allows me to identify keywords or themes that it puts together into phrases — and then matches up the phrases with like articles. Like a cross between Google News and Daypop (but that makes it sound much more complex than it is). If you want to see an "interests" based summary for me, check out the Phrase Index. I use fairly general keywords so as not to miss out on the future items. I haven't tried...

Mike Muegel, a Dean supporter, has put together a very cool little tool that aggregates blogs related to the Dean campaign. It sits in your system tray and pulls in entries from a whole bunch o' sites, and lets you cycle through them one at a time. In my experience with it over the past few weeks, it's been very well-behaved, updating itself cleanly. Desktop Dean is free, of course. You could probably talk to Mike about having him do a version for some other topic you or your business cares about......

"mNews looks quite good but perhaps quite high at $19.95- 'Sports, weather, politics, business, science, health, technology... Latest world headlines were never so easy to access on your Treo as they are now with mNews! With mNews you can download and read latest news from numerous sources of your choice from around the world right on your Treo. mNews is the RSS news reader for PalmOne Treo 600 devices. RSS news feeds is an emerging channel for delivering the news, blogs and corporate communication to the end users.

A competitor to Hand/RSS, but I still think mobile Bloglines is the way to go so that your feeds are synchronized across multiple devices.

PC Mag Says Death to 802.11b (Almost)
"PC Magazine rounds up several 802.11g routers, and says they're cheap enough, they're good enough: 802.11b no longer enjoys a large enough (or any) price differential for quality Wi-Fi gateways that include WPA encryption support, PC Mag says. So while you can still find 802.11b devices on the market, they recommend new gear have 802.11g built in...." [Wi-Fi Networking News]
Lesson: Make sure you buy 802.11g for your library.

Making CD-R's Last
"From Doug Kaye I learned of an interesting article on how long CD-R's will last and things you can do to increase or decrease that time. I've always just popped down to Staples and bought the cheapest disks I could find. For some of my uses (the latest Suse distro, for example) that's fine. But this article makes the point that if you're using the disk to archive important material, you need to be more careful. The article contains information on how to select good media and media that's appropriate for the drive that you'll be recording on. This may be especially important for organizations building large collections of CD-R's that they need to keep to meet regulatory or other business requirements." [Windley's Enterprise Computing Weblog]
Lesson: If your library is using CD-Rs for backups, archiving, or preservation, pick the right ones!

This is not meant to be comprehensive, in particular, it focuses only on one encoding (utf-8, which is guaranteed to be supported by any conformant XML parser), and doesn't do mode base64.

Reading Canter in an aggregator..... 07/28/2004 11:08 AM

... is like watching The Matrix on a Teletype machine/printer: you not only miss the entire experience, but most of the headlines picked up by the feed are uninteresting at quick glance, whereas the stories themselves usually are pretty good. Sure, better summary style might do the trick, as Jon Udell often writes about, but that would miss the point, and the impact/speed with which worthy items appear. I used to moan about the confusing (non-existing or subtle) quoting convention, but now I've told him that I don't care anymore... where would we be if Marc Canter gave up his shoot-from-the-hip style, and increasingly-rich-media blog pages?
