RSS hearts MS: What will happen when Microsoft takes subscription Mainstream?
Longhorn hearts RSS. Geeks in a frenzy, hashing out the technicalities and business models and possibilities, but what does it mean for the incredibly large number of people that don’t know now and won’t care later whether it stands for “Really Simple Syndication” or “Renew Subscription, Sonny” ?

Bisy Backson

Digital Journalism Class
…not the Online Journalism class I’m taking next Fall, but this Spring’s Digital Journalism class at NYU: they’ve launched a webzine: This Is Not A Blog. There’s about a dozen short articles, including bits profiling Romenesko and Craig Newmark, some web design ideas, and plenty about blogs. The fun thing for me is to see…
