7/9/96: "The day every Microsoft employee has their own web page, accessible to the public, with pointers to all the people they work with, inside and outside of Microsoft, that's the day when Microsoft will be fully committed to the net." 

Mark Orchant reviews NewsGator. To review your favorite aggregator, read the backgrounder on the Really Simple Syndication site.

John Kerry's tutorial on RSS. Smart. Teach a man to fish... 

Scoble: "The new Nikon D-70. That's a sweet camera." 

Buttress: "Automatically download and run .torrent files from RSS feeds." 

Greenspun: "Here's an idea for a restaurant." 

In response to yesterday's Bootstrapping piece, Chris Westbrook, a blind computer user, has settled on Sharp Reader, although he wishes "it had a sound notification when new headlines were obtained." 

BBC: "Teenage boys and girls are using blogs, easily publishable online diaries, in many more similar ways than has been predicted."

Rick Klau: "RSS works. Politics aside, it works." 

Susan, we're aware that RSS might be easier. What's in the way? A couple of things. First, we're waiting for a breakthrough idea.

I've privately proposed some small steps in that direction, but so far, no motion. 

JFK: "A rising tide lifts all boats."
