A New Years Resolution

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post.  I am curious how many people decided to blog more, as a new year’s resolution...

So, you are reading the blog post… and what am I simplifying today?

Today I deleted every RSS feed which contained only a tease. I will no longer be clicking through on any one line articles.

Wicked Insanity

Too funny Charlie:

Two weeks ago, Attensa co-founder Eric Hayes called his company's feed synchronization system "wickedly efficient". Today NewsGator founder Greg Reinacker called his company's competing system "insanely fast".

Competition is good.

But...  Everyone knows; it's better to be wicked than insane!  ;-)

Todo List

Okay, a good way to start is to define a todo list of things I'd like to talk about:

- Attention.XML

- Calendaring Standards (iCalendar, hCalendar, XMLCAL, cxCal)

- Contact Standards (vCard, RDF vCard, hCard, cxCard)

- You Subscribe: RSS (now & later)

- RSS: Drinking Fountain, or Fire Hose???

Hello World!

There is nothing like a few years, heads down, to make one very quite on the web! It seems even more odd, when what you are working on is so much related to news/information publishing on the web!

By the time anyone on the planet reads this, hopefully it will be because they stumbled across You Subscribe: RSS, and my blog along the way.

If you have, somehow, found this another way, please check out You Subscribe: RSS

As you will probably read there, we are releasing a version 0.8 public preview. This reader, still far from complete, has enough in it to, hopefully be useful.
