Gmail downtime
This is the longest I have ever seen gmail down for…it has been atleast 3 hours since I was last able to login, urgh.
Question
Would a tool that made it drag and drop easy to map existing XML feeds (in whatever format) to RSS2.0 be useful?
I am thinking about all those industry XML feeds used in large enterprise…think of an industry and they probably have their own XML schema. Seems like there might be use cases for RSSalizing these.
Finland Rocks
I am back aboard Lufthansa flight 776 from Frankfurt to Singapore, blogging again from 30,000ft…although at this stage my enthusiasm for it isn’t real high. Aside from the poor service, I just want to get home and see the family. This is one leg (11 hours or so) of about 30 hours non stop travel [...]
How long?
I remember reading something Jason Calacanis wrote early on in the development of Weblogs Inc…can’t find the orginal post, but he said straight up that he didn’t expect all the blogs to work out and that he wouldn’t hesitate to kill those that weren’t going anywhere.
So my question is how long does it take for [...]
Is CitySearches lunch being eaten?
Just picked up a link to the new Yahoo! Local beta from Waxy, who made the comment that it is a very impressive alternative to CitySearch…and he couldn’t be more right. What with Google Maps (and all that mashing up fo web services), Yahoo! local, and the new A9 search features, there must be a [...]
Surfing the friendly surly skies
Well here I am…enjoying the inflight wifi onboard Lufthansa flight LH777 from Singapore to Frankfurt.
It isn’t full noise broandband, but it is perfectly usable and I am pretty happy about it…this is a much more productive way to spend 11 hours. Rather than watching movies, I’ve responded to some customer service email, fielded some [...]
Connexions
I’m heading off on a business trip tomorrow for the next 10 days, so normally I’d say posting will be even lighter than usual :)
But this time my flight from Singapore to Frankfurt is one of the Lufthansa flights with the new inflight WiFi service, Connexion, so I might even get to post more than [...]
Flock
I signed up to be notified about the beta launch for Flock the other day with out really knowing what it is about…just sounded cool :)
Now unmediated have blogged about an early demo, and provide a few juicy hints…Flock definitely sounds killer. Can’t wait to try it.
PCMag on RSS Feed Creators
PC Magazine has just done a nice review of three desktop RSS feed creators. Sharon Housley’s FeedForAll deservedly gets good marks.
But what if there was a really simple online RSS feed builder that let you export your feeds to your own site, and had some other cool features that only a web based system could [...]
Industry Blogs
About three years ago I created a blog directory, Blogarama. I sold it a while ago now, and ever since I have pondered the idea of creating a directory specifically dedicated to cataloging the business blogosphere.
Why? Markets are conversations, and blogs as part of the marketing mix represent a new opportunity for organizations to engage [...]
