Subscribing to RSS Search Feeds – Whys & Wherefores
Like Alan I reckon this is a very interesting and worthwhile discussion but while he tears off on a very interesting riff on the value of RSS beyond what is simply ‘new’ I find myself coming back to my main usage of RSS which is to aggregate news sources and in particular my recent ‘Not …

Pmachine-pro for free

This is especially cool me-wise because he’s from Monash (a uni round the corner from me), it’s hosted at a Monash address http://weblog.its.monash.edu.au:8880/kd/ and he’s the main man for their portal development.
