I spent today working on the plumbing of FeedLand-on-Automattic. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to work on more user-facing features. #
A braintrust query for implementors of rssCloud. Do you ping only when an item is created, or every time it changes? #
Posted on Threads: "Replies are almost always spam, they aren't talking to the author (though technically they are), rather they are talking over the author's head, trying to reach the people who read the author's post. If this is what's really going on, surely we can come up with a more realistic structure/UI that doesn't even involve the author." #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
