The News Monkey Swings
Screen shots can only "say" so much, so if you're still unsure about how a news aggregator works, I'd recommend you take a look at this particular Flash application. Drop to the Tech Category and you'll quickly see how sites from all across the Internet can be scanned in seconds. This is a very powerful system that's sitting at your fingertips. With more programmers beginning to harness RSS and continuing to enhance the user experience, these types of utilities are becoming a commodity. Give this Monkey a banana!

The RSS Weather Service
"This EXPERIMENTAL application is able to generate an RSS feed of the current and forecasted weather conditions for US, or international cities." This is an amazing idea, and I hope to see it mature quickly. Take a look at The Emergency Email Network and you'll start to understand that darn near every bit of content that can be passed to a cell phone can just as easily be passed through a news aggregator.(Via Smart Mobs)

A Night at the RSSxbury
The night club scene just got geekier. All Night Clubs in New York City now offers RSS for the latest happenings. This feed includes interviews, articles, announcements and editorials. This bit of entertainment goodness comes from Matt:

An interesting twist to RSS night life has occurred recently, according to my sources. Students from the local college here in Bellingham, WA are using RSS to syndicate the latest locations / times of parties. Man, I can see it now... laptop in one arm and a case of brew in the other. I am going to encourage them to use RSS to sync up designated drivers. This way, students can see who is going long before the party ever starts. Implementation is not that complicated - and it is killer PR for my business. Then they can make arrangements with the driver of choice to get them home safely. It’s all about syndicating common sense folks... just syndicating common sense.

No arguments here.

Syndicating Learning Objects with RSS and Trackback
»Customized collections of learning objects from multiple repositories are achieved with simple, existing RSS protocols, creating access to a wider range of objects than a single source. This provides discipline-specific windows into collections, contextual wrappers via blogging tools, and a system for connecting objects and implementations via TrackBack.« (by Alan Levine, Brian Lab and D'Arcy Norman)

Personal Broadcasting Opens Yet Another Front for Journalists
(by J.D. Lasica) A camera, firewire and the ability to Webcast are all you need. Oh yeah, and don't forget that you have to like sticking a camera and microphone in people's faces.
