Aside from delivering serious flow (thanks!) it's great to have these ideas heard, esp since they're about combining the power of amateur and professional media.
In this case, the link itself is a sign of hope.
PS: I have a column in the pipe for the BBC. Hope they run it soon, it's mostly about archiving for posterity, so I guess in this case, it'll keep. ";->"

"RSS was born in 1997 out of the confluence of Dave Winer's 'Really Simple Syndication' technology, used to push out blog updates, and Netscape's 'Rich Site Summary', which allowed users to create custom Netscape home pages with regularly updated data flows." - Tim O'Reilly.
