felled by colds, including me. I'm also trying to keep up with current
events, as are you I'm sure. Since CNN isn't providing free, live video
feeds, I'm in search of others, but Andy Rhinehart and the Spartanbarg Herald-Journal are
doing their part by providing an RSS feed of war-related
content from the Associated Press.

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 Aggregator
Yahoo Aggregator
01/07/2004 06:17 PMYahoo 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.

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.

01/23/2004 02:21 PM 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......

Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator
Great RSS Quotes from My Aggregator
12/24/2004 12:58 PM
- RSS: a
Shift, from What...to What?
"He also neatly sort of answers his own question - with greater
precision than I can ever muster - by saying: 'If I visit houses of
content, as I seem to do on the Web, that is very different than the
content as “visitor” to my house.'... What we’re seeing is the
creation of personalised information hypermarkets.... Over time, you
develop a rich cocktail of sources and you develop a new habit for
browsing information. Some things you look at hourly, some daily, and
some you deliberately save till Friday pm for a catch up. This is
light years away from sitting down at the table in the morning looking
at your paper, or even your paper’s website.”
- RSS and
Blog Directories
"Inspired by The Media Drop's list of newspaper RSS feeds, I thought
I'd compile a list of RSS directories. Enjoy and spread the
link."
- Newsmap as a Model for Smart Aggregation
"Information overload. It’s the next big issue in publishing, and
technology in general. The day you have 400 e-mails in your inbox, 900
new items in your RSS aggregator, and 8 Instant Messenger windows on
your screen will come. For some people, it’s already here.... The
key to our information gathering lives is all about smart aggregation.
The days of media companies deciding what’s on your 'front page' are
numbered. Within five years, I believe customizable newsreader
technology (whether client-side like Net News Wire, or server-side
like Bloglines), will be as prevalent as the web is right
now."
- 500 down, 3061 to go
"At the beginning of this week I had 310 feeds showing around 25,000
unread posts. I had toyed with the idea of declaring RSS bankruptcy
and just starting again, but I was getting increasingly unhappy with
chaotic state of my feeds and deep down I knew that hitting 'mark all
posts read' would do nothing to solve the problem in the long
run."

Postmodern World: The Busine$$ of RSS
"Want a glimpse of tomorrow? Innovators Bill French and Harry Hayes
are SmartStream Alliance™ and have a product that's so compelling
that news executives of every sort will be scrambling to be first in
their market with it....
RSxStream is a sophisticated and ingenious software engine
that takes RSS, Atom, RDF, XML, any other sort of feed or data stream,
or any other content that lives on the Internet and makes it available
to the desktop via a contextual reader. End users are given a
state-of-the-art reader — capable of grabbing anything from live
TV to music to video-on-demand to simple RSS text feeds. If it's
available via the Internet (today), it can be routed through the
RSxStream engine. The end users have complete control of what sources
they choose, as they would with any other RSS reader. The difference
is those choices are drawn indirectly, through the RSxStream
software....
What's crucial to understand with this is that whoever provides the
reader to the public also owns the engine, and THAT is the business
end of RSS. It means advertising can be crafted into the design of the
reader and delivered based on the choices, habits and interests of the
end user. It's contextual advertising nirvana. This type of business
currently does not exist, but it's ideal for local media outlets. Why?
Because we're in the information distribution business, and getting
the reader onto the public's desktops is the key to its success.
Moreover, if the local media entities don't do it, somebody else will,
and they will take all those ad dollars with them." [DONATA Communications, via JD on MX]
I love the idea of providing the reader and even pre-populating it
with feeds relevant to the intended audience, but I hate the
idea of some company monetizing it. I'd much rather get a grant and
have libraries provide this information-centric software. We're in the
"information distribution" business, too, except we're interested in
people getting information without strings attached.

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

Lesson: Make sure you buy 802.11g for your

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."

Weblog]
Lesson: If your library is using CD-Rs for
backups, archiving, or preservation, pick the right ones!

... 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?

03/11/2003 10:45 AMAargh! It no longer matters if I have high-speed internet access
this week at the Computers
in Libraries conference because the laptop isn't back from being
repaired anyway. Hopefully I can get the Stowaway keyboard working for
my Clie or else I'll have to resort to - gasp - paper for my
conference notes. How archaic.
So that means no blogging or news aggregator and minimal email
Tuesday through Friday. I'm actually going to have to speak about RSS
on Thursday without having seen any for three days!
I'm not sure what's more pathetic - me at a libraries &
technology conference without internet access, the fact that none of
the hotels around Dupont Circle offer high-speed internet access (let
alone WiFi), or the fact that the CIL conference is held at a hotel
that doesn't offer any type of high-speed access.
So if you see me at the conference and I'm twitching, it's just a
symptom of withdrawal.
