Monday June 07, 2004 Server-side RSS
As mentioned previously, I'm an RSS convert; I get it. Being able to track a large number of information feeds quickly and efficiently is a Good Thing. However.
Client-side RSS aggregators are....limiting? Ultimately a dumb idea? I suppose they are okay if you lug the same client around with you wherever you go, but Please. How, 20th century. Your list of sites to be aggregated should live in the network, not on your laptop or PDA or cellphone or workstation. Accessible from everywhere. Preferably using a browser, which is pretty close to a ubiquitous access method at this point.
I spoke with Tim Bray about this and he suggested I check out bloglines.com, a free service that does just what I want -- browser access to my preferred list of RSS feeds from anywhere. The interface is clunky compared to NetNewsWire, but it's early days yet. Try it, you'll like it. (2004-06-07 11:36:50.0) Permalink Comments [0]
