Scoble reports on MSDN's bandwidth woes due to rss traffic. Perhaps we should consider adding an extra step in the process, decoding thee rss feed from a bittorrent download. Since bt works best when lots of people want the same file, this could in theory be perfect for rss distribution. This could cut down verage feed size to 30k or less. Still need a central tracker though... Perhaps that can be used as a central 'pinger'.

In this example, the aggregator pings the tracker to see if there's a new version of my rss feed torrent file, if true, it downloads the torrent, which in turn downloads the feed file from the p2p network. The feed is then read into the aggregator just like any other feed.

A bonus in this scenario is that the tracker has a built in stats mechanism.

Goedemorgen vannuit Amsterdam! Patricia en ik zijn hier blijven slapen gisteren na een lange doch enerverende dag. Het begon met een bezoek aan GrandMasterView in Wamel, Patricia had de HQ nog niet gezien. Na een gezellige lunch met iedereen zijn we naar Culemborg gereden, waar Dynamic Design met ons samenwerkt in de verkoop van custom GMV flatscreens.

Nog een paar boodschapjes hier end daar en we zijn weer weg naar het zuiden!

NY Times: "Harassed by mobile phones or hotel phone system not being used?" asked one of the promotional leaflets distributed to the properties. "Then look no further. Purchase a mobile phone jammer for your hotel, restaurant and bar. Small and discreet."
