A picture named sawthcaline.jpgI'm resting for the night in South Carolina, on a vector for Washington, DC, where I will hang with Nicco Mele of EchoDitto and his friends over the weekend, and make a stop in Maryland to see Joe Trippi and hopefully do a bunch of podcasts; all on my way to NYC and then Boston. It's still warm tonight, in the mid-70s, but I'm expecting to be taking out the sweaters and long underwear any day now.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

MSN Search supports RSS. This is very cool, and it's a differentiator for their search service because Google doesn't do it, nor does Yahoo, Jeeves, etc. It's also nice because they listened to us at the design review meeting late last year in Redmond. It was nearly unanimous among the bloggers that RSS support should be part of the search engine, both on the sending and receiving sides. Now one half has been taken care of. I'm sure this feature will gain wide use among bloggers. Very good. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Julian Bond sends a reminder that Yahoo Search also supports RSS output for queries. Sorry for not remembering.  Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Steven Cohen reports that the Seattle Public Library is using RSS to publish updates. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Morning Coffee Notes podcast for January 12, a commentary on the times we live in, or nothing at all, depending on how you look at it. A wisp of sound, a dash of color, a puff of smoke, a mountain of microcosms. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

12/23/04: "I'd be much happier if we could do some spontaneous carol-singing and ho ho ho'ing in January or May or September." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

On this day in 2002, Radio UserLand 8.0 shipped. "Inch by inch." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

Wired: "A new application combining BitTorrent and RSS could make it easy for video fans to automatically locate files and download them to their computers." Permanent link to this item in the archive.

The EFF is defending bloggers who reported on Apple's new products before they wanted them reported on. Permanent link to this item in the archive.

I've gotten a few emails from vendors saying they're interested in working together to solve The Yahoo Problem that I outlined yesterday. Here's a place we can discuss the proposal, but please if you have a different approach, hold on to it, or better yet, read through the archive of various syndication mail lists to see if it's already been discussed. I'm sure the approach I outlined works. Now the question is does the community of vendors want to solve the problem? We'll find out soon enough. Permanent link to this item in the archive.
