Always a kind word. NYer. Doesn't mind direct advice.
With that in mind, he needs to get a corporate RSS feed for Mahalo.
That he didn't have one on opening day was a huge mistake.
Even if the feed was empty, a placeholder, they should have had something bloggers could subscribe to. That way, when they have some news, even if Bill and Steve are doing another public trip down memory lane, every little bit of Mahalo news would have a chance to climb the ladder on Techmeme.
I made the suggestion privately, he seemed to think I meant that each page should have an RSS feed (which of course it should, a la Top Ten Sources). But I was asking for something simpler and less ambitious.
I want a feed from his company that my aggregator can check every hour.
