Heh Jim. RSS never falls off my radar; it smacks me straight in the face on a constant basis.

You caught the gist, though. RSS is a foundational technology and one that we shouldn’t take for granted or ignore.

Yes, I’ll see what bribery I can offer Melanie for info.

Well, one thing is clear: I’m going to need a bigger hat to do this job int he manner it deserves. Thanks for the howdy do!

I’m psyched to be joining AideRSS and can say that I am awed by the possibilities. You’re going to see a number of interesting announcements int he next 90 days that’s for sure. Starting with this week, but I’m no leaker so you’ll have to work on Melanie if you want in on the news before hand. :)

I have to say that I’m of two minds with respect to RSS falling “off your radar”. I think this is the future and its absolutely necessary. RSS on your radar is like SMTP, HTTP or FTP on your radar…its technology not capability. I think its time to get on with the next wave of RSS usage and we’re ready to play a major part. (Notice the fact that I refrained from any lame RSS 2.0 references that is NOT part of the strategy)

Thanks for picking up the news and I look forward to the continued conversation!
