Every morning, I spend between an hour and 2 hours checking in on friend’s weblogs and reading news. Lately, I’ve been thinking that this activity takes up too much of my time.

NetNewsWire keeps track of new headlines on news sites and new posts in weblogs. This would be a huge time saver. But…

It uses a protocol called RSS which is an XML-like content syndication language. Since few of my friends’ sites nor many of the major news sites (BBC, CNN, Yahoo) use RSS, I really don’t get the biggest benefit from using NetNewsWire. For the sites that are using it, it’s really fantastic.

Maybe I’ll rework my site to use RSS. But can I persuade Dan, Jenn, & both of the MJs to do it, too? Posted by kuri at September 01, 2002 12:12 PM
