Reuters: "Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq beheaded an American civilian and vowed more killings in revenge for the 'Satanic degradation' of Iraqi prisoners, an Islamist Web site said Tuesday." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named qaeda.jpgNews.Com report on Reuters' support of RSS. I like this report because it focuses on what people are doing with RSS, not the brain-dead simple technology behind it. I also liked that they called out Google for being incompatible. More coverage like this and they'll have to join the rest of the technology and publishing industries and get behind RSS. It's the totally not-evil thing to do.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Kevin Werbach: "And frankly, the attendees are just as impressive." I'll probably never get invited to Supernova, but Kevin I wholly agree, so why not have a page that lists all the participants. We have such an app running, created for BloggerCon, if you want to use it, just say the word, it would take a couple of hours to set it up for your conference. This way people can salivate about all the super-smart people who will be there. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Bloglines adds enclosure support. I've attached a small enclosure to this item. Does it copy the enclosure to their server, or point to the original? Matt McClellan reports: "Looks like Bloglines points to the original." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

The Connection: The Anti-Blog. "Bad prose out there." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

George Packer: The Revolution Will Not Be BloggedPermanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named vaio.jpgNews.Com: "Sony on Monday revamped and expanded the scope of its Vaio computer line. Additions to the line include a new portable hard drive-based music player, a diminutive Windows XP PC and new PCs with enhanced AV functions. Also, the company revealed the development of a hard-disk recorder with more than a terabyte of storage capacity." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Gizmodo report on the Vaio Pocket, pictured above. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Register: Sony unveils colour iPod killerPermanent link to this item in the archive.

Hans Kullin has a list of Swedish sites with RSS feeds. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Betsy Devine did an experiment to see if Gmail only looks at the first paragraph in an email to figure out what ads to display. It appears her theory is correct. She writes about flowers, and the ads are about flowers. At first I couldn't figure out what she was talking about.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Halley's Comment, a Blogger site, now has comments. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I just heard that Yahoo's aggregator doesn't have a way to export subscriptions as OPML. If true, they should fix this right away.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Scott Rosenberg: "Bush and his men keep parroting the line about torture chambers even as the scandal of American-sponsored torture in Saddam's notorious old prison was grabbing headlines worldwide." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

A picture named blackHelicopter..jpgNPR's Juan Williams interviews US Secretary of State Colin Powell about the prisoner abuse scandal. "This is not over yet." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Nicholas Carr: "In public, industry CEOs may continue to exercise their Peter Pan complexes, pretending that the IT business will never grow up. But behind the scenes they're dismantling Neverland piece by piece." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Phil Ringnalda: "It's time for the users of syndicated XML feeds to stand up and be heard." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Audioblog.com is "the powerful and easy-to-use audio publishing service that puts your voice in your weblog or online journal." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Docs for the XML-RPC interface for MailToTheFuture.Com, 2/99. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
