RSS enclosures
Dave Winer on RSS enclosures:Chris Lydon has been doing a series of audio interviews on his weblog at Harvard. There are already over 25 interviews, representing 40 separate MP3 files. The archive is nearly 300MB. It’s a perfect application for RSS enclosures. [Scripting News]Eek…any time I see an automatic 300MB download being a perfect application [...]
NewsGator and SharePoint
James Edelin has been busy: I have been using NewsGator for the good part of this year. It is an AWESOME program. I can already read my SharePoint stuff in it thanks to Harry’s WSS RSS generator. So I was thinking, wouldn’t it be great if you could post information to SharePoint using Outlook? I [...]
Secure RSS
More talk about secure RSS: “I wish someone would solve the Secure RSS feature so we could apply some kinid of ACL to our subcriptions. I’d love to be able to subscribe to each member of our company and get their RSS feeds from anywhere I want – NOT just inside the firewall.” –Pete’s Blog (Peter Fahlman) [...]
RSS and Calendars
Lots of talk recently about RSS, calendars, PIM’s, and the like. Ray Ozzie wonders: Has anyone built an RSS aggregator that can aggregate multiple calendar RSS feeds into your Outlook or Notes personal calendar? I can’t go into details yet (sorry)…but I can say this is just the tip of the iceberg of what will [...]
RSS and MIME types
The last umpteen comments I’ve heard regarding “feed:” is that we should be using MIME types instead. But NO ONE has addressed ANY of the problems with MIME types…rather, the comments are all basically saying “MIME types are the right way to do this.” Let me describe the MIME problems in more detail here, and if someone [...]
RSS as a conversation mechanism
There’s been a lot of talk lately about RSS replacing email…and the spam problem is what most people have been pointing to to justify their position. Hmm. I think having RSS feeds in the NewsGator forums actually gets us pretty far down this path. The Lockergnome forums do this too, and I’m sure there are [...]
NewsGator Forums
After way too much pain with the old forum software (which was the old beta www.asp.net forum code) being used for the NewsGator forums, I’ve finally migrated to a commercial system (InstantForum.NET)…hopefully this one will work out a little better! Those of you subscribed to the forum RSS feed will see a whole set of new [...]
More on feed:
After some lively discussion yesterday (more references below), here are my thoughts. We need to come up with something that’s easy for the publisher. If it’s not, this has approximately 0.142% chance of widespread adoptance. MIME types alone do not solve the problem – lots of discussion about this on yesterday’s post. Escaping the [...]
NewsGator and your Pocket PC
I’ve often thought my customers are smarter than me…and today, one of them proved it yet again! I had always thought ActiveSync could only sync up your Inbox and subfolders…but it turns out, if you know what you’re doing, you can sync any folders…including your NewsGator news folders. To do this, do the following: First, [...]
