I thought I’d check out Microsoft Max, but Don Dodge says it doesn’t support OPML.
What? A new RSS aggregator that doesn’t even import OPML?
I’m beyond surprised, and won’t check it out. I’m sure it looks beautiful (as everyone is saying), but without OPML support what value does it bring to me?
I knew we would be in the press this week with the release of v1.3 of the Digipede Network and announcing our recent deal with Digital Dimension.
What I didn’t know is that our product was going to receive an Editor’s Choice Award for Price / Performance.
A pleasant surprise! Thanks, GridToday.
I guess I’ve been asleep at the aggregator. Actually, just busy driving a release; anyway, I see from Kevin Burton that Rojo has been acquired.
In addition, Kevin puts on his 20/20 hindsight spectacles to praise himself:
In hindsight, I don’t ever think Rojo was given the credit it deserved. Feed search in particular. In fact, earlier this year when Ask/Bloglines released their feed search it was pointed out that Rojo had been doing the same thing for months.
Just kidding you, Kevin. Congratulations — I hope this acquisition is good for you.
Don Dodge asks if newspapers and magazines dying? I guess Steve Gillmor would say, no, they are already dead. Robert Scoble doesn’t read them.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t still have legs. Hell, I read them. Maybe that is why I’m behind in my news aggregator.
I read National Geographic, sometimes Discover (some of the articles are good), whatever tech magazines they keep sending me, Dr. Dobbs, and then whatever magazines my wife reads. Occasionally I read a guitar magazine. And almost anything on an airplane.
That is, now it is 1. I started blogging on September 3rd, 2005 just before going to PDC05. Back then the blog has a different name (Mind From R. Wandering) and was hosted elsewhere, but it is essentially the same. According to WP Admin, this is my 193rd post.
If my readership continues to increase at even a fraction of the same rate, everyone in the universe will be reading my blog within the year.
Long live the divide-by-zero joke. 😉
