Jon Udell on Personal RSS aggregators: "The relevance engine that powers the emerging RSS network is, very much like Google's relevance engine, decentralized and ultimately social in nature. The raw output of the online news collective is filtered for me by people doing what they do best: spotting patterns, alerting the tribe." Has nice words about NewsIsFree-the-aggregator (as opposed to NewsIsFree-the-syndicator as many people know us). [Too Much News]

News Is Free has been and is my primary aggregator.  Glad to see it getting recognized for the stroke of genius that it is.

"In a survey of 800 companies in North America and Western Europe, about 40 percent said they were either using or testing Linux in their organizations, according to the research firm IDC."

WOW, I had no idea that businesses were taking that serious as look a Linux.  I just attended a library technology conference last week and sat in on a couple of sessions pertaining to Linux and Open Source in libraries.  Judging by the turn-out to those sessions, I'd say that none of those 800 included any libraries :)

I'm seriously considering the potential for use in operations, but I don't see the Linux desktop making a strong showing as PAC clients anytime real soon.  But...that could all change if efforts like this keep pushing the movement forward.
