Beta: RSS Explorer Tool. A nice check-box interface for discovering new RSS sources. It's a beta, which means there could be bugs, and more features and fixes are probably coming. But it's pretty darned useful right now. For those who don't have Radio yet, here's a screen shot.  I got a really nice letter from Howard Rheingold, along with a copy of his new book Smart Mobs, in the mail today. Thanks, it goes on my reading list. I also got the form for the Wired Brain Trust. I can actually nominate up to three people, in three categories: innovator, rebel and visionary. My due date is November 1. Interesting assignment. Marketplace.Org: Millionaire Quiz. Tomorrow is Game 1 of the 2002 World Series. I will not be going to Anaheim. That's okay. I've got a bleacher seat with Jake for Game 5 in SF. I'd love to go to other games, but I'm happy to go to just one game. In the meantime I'm praying for the Giants. This is a big year for baseball in the Bay Area. I can feel it in my bones. Wired: "PopTech, now in its sixth year, attracts an eclectic mix of entrepreneurs, inventors, CEOs and academics from around the country." Paul Boutin is at PopTech, and points to other bloggers who are there. Last year on this day I won the top award from Wired, their Tech Renegade of the year, for the work on SOAP with Microsoft. They liked the way I used Microsoft's power to undermine Microsoft. I admired them for admiring me for that. I admire Microsoft even more for wanting that. I thought then that we should have made hay with it, but they were in the middle of rolling out XP. Too busy I guess. On this day two years ago the Yankees won the American League championship, setting in motion one of the more hohum World Series, made slightly more interesting because you could take the subway between the two stadiums. Phil Ringnalda sees the need for another RSS element that says "this channel is finished, please unsubscribe now." His example isYahoo's beta test of financial feeds, which is now over. Another example are the feeds for discussion threads. They wind down quickly, but everyone stays subscribed unless they go 404. BBC: "Microsoft has reported far higher than expected profits, helping to restore investor confidence in the battered technology sector." |
