Adding (n)Echo support to my copy of Radio.

Major fun: Radio gets some kind of Echo support.   [Scripting News]

(n)echo feed. There's now a valid (formerly known as | not) echo feed for this weblog. I would hope that the namespace gets set soon, so far I've seen about 5 variations. [Simon Fell]

And it took me longer to write this post than it did to add (n)Echo support to my copy of Radio. For a user worrying about what all the noise around RSS/(n)Echo will mean, that's cool!

Character encoding quirks in the aggregator.

Weird Characters in RSS. Does anyone else see these weird high-ASCII characters in the Corante: IdeaFlow RSS feed?

If itâo[dot accent]s true that the bust is about busted, I hope that the resulting opportunity to innovate innovation itself isnâo[dot accent]t overlooked. Thereâo[dot accent]s been a lot of thought in the last few years about how to make sure innovation doesnâo[dot accent]t pack up and leave town when the venture capitalists close their wallets. For example, in the Open Innovation scenario, loose-pocketed venture capitalists aren't as necessary for technology innovation.

I have the same problem. It appears to be a bug in the way Radio's news aggregator handles the character encoding. It doesn't happen in some other aggregators.  It's one of those standards quirks that programmers get to worry about I guess. I think of it as a bit of sand in the works -- adds a bit of flavor. Since I'm not qualified to fix it, I try to ignore it.
