Home thanks

Web Services, people, software providers, writers and resources who have made this weblog more useful. A long overdue category... plus resources to never track of... First things first: this is not for "public consumption" this feed is raw, unedited bits of news gathered from the Web, direct quotes from savy bloggers. This is not meant as a weblog... noooo.... this is my personal treasure chest of knowledge... That said, I'm NOT WRITING it. got it? It's not for review or anything else... I'm hoarding it to a space on the web where I can go back and find it. Why, you say? : stupid computer, stupid browser, stupid bookmarks can't track this stuff like a Radioland feed can ... and having it on the web is so useful.

I'm  hoarding it to a space on the web where I can go back and find it. Why, you say? : stupid computer, stupid browser, stupid bookmarks can't track this stuff like a Radioland feed can ... and having it on the web is so useful.

Give thanks to the following people and resources: 

verbatim quote from Dave Winer: Backend Userland  Lockergnome RSS feeds for Amazon. An awesome application of RSS. Chris Pirillo has set up a set of dozens of feeds covering every product category on Amazon. You can subscribe to them to find about new stuff. This is so excellent. Right on right on.

 Simon Willison's Weblog: Adrian Holovaty has the scoop on the BBC's new RSS feeds, one for every news index page of their site. Adrian has also written a bookmarklet to find the feed for any section of the BBC site.

Tristan has also set up an experimental public aggregator of feeds from a small group of friends from Uni, using blosxom's companion aggregator blagg.
