All Those Feeds Got you Down?
Scripting News: Most RSS readers are wrong – Dave is mostly right here. RSS is not email, you don’t need to read every article that floats by. It is the same as a newspaper or magazine, scan and read. That is what I do with 95% of the feeds I read. Sometimes, I miss whole weeks worth because other things have my attention. But don’t sell the power and importance of RSS short. The other 5% of the feeds are critical to what I do. Those feeds present information about systems I run, status of projects I mange and participate in, feedback on the work I do and more. The 5% are more important than email. The ease with which RSS is implemented allow me ot use it monitor all sorts of things that are way beyond news.

MSFT Kills HTML Email!
Microsoft takes email design back 5 years – Campaign Monitor Blog – Article detailing how Outlook 2007 goes retro and uses the crippled Microsoft Word Rendering Engine to display HTML instead of Internet Explorer. In a nutshell this means that CSS for email layout is not going to work. Can’t say I’m upset here. Email is a text based anyway. If you have something to say, say it in text. I really don’t like all the layout stuff in email and often opt not to get emails that are only formated in with CSS and HTML.
