Jon Udell talks extensively about Groove Web Services in his latest  Infoworld article named : Script locally, publish globally.  Nice to see he mentions our Groove/Radio experiment and Hugh's Newsclienttool :-) A few months back, I participated in an online experiment with a bunch of Groove developers. The idea was to explore synergies between the private world of Groove shared spaces and the public world of Weblogs. One of the developers, Hugh Pyle, injected into our space a Groove tool he'd written that subscribes to RSS channels and displays their (linked) headlines. This was different from my normal experience of reading RSS channels -- and it was different in exactly the way that defines Groove. Management of the list of subscribed channels and awareness of the information flowing through them was a team process.

Jeff Chausse :  Don't want to use Windows to use Groove? Get a cheap Windows PC, install Groove, plug it into your LAN, and go hide it in a closet. Better yet, just set up an account on someone elses' Grooved PC. Build whatever interfaces you really need, out of .NET/Java/Perl/Fortran, and access it from your Mac/PalmPilot/WebTV/Commodore 64.

Matt Pope : Integration of Radio with Groove, using Groove Web Services, would further decentralize Radio in a way that would allow real-time blogging from machines not running Radio.  I want it.
