OPML, RSS, RDP, ATOM, XML.....ETC.

What does all of that mean?

Well tomorrow I will be posting a user guide to subscribing to websites using various syndication methods. I will post a client that can be used for the main operating systems, as well as all of the sites that I subscibe to on a daily basis, in a nice outline and in OPML so that you can easily subscibe to the same sites as me.

We will also talk about FireFox's use of syndication which they call "Live Bookmarks."

Going to the acatual website and watching the ads is something of the past. You don't go out to get your information anymore, it is fed right to you in a easy to handle way.


If this isn't cool, I don't know what is...although it isn't working for the 4G iPods and since I buy the latest and greatest, it won't work on mine yet...although it soon will... Can you imagine Telnet'ing into your iPod, creating recording software for your iPod that can incorporate the music already in it, and even downloading the latest podcasts direct from your iPod? So awesome....
