Feedburner Becomes Google FeedsNovember 10

Migration of FeedBurner and Google feeds is to occur in the very near future. This is likely a very important step in progression of the RSS standard. Many large publishers used the FeedBurner platform to publish their RSS feeds. Google bought FeedBurner quite some time ago. I've been informed that my FeedBurner account will be transferred to my Google account. Not sure how they associated those two accounts, but they did. Let's track this closely. Please email me any issue at randy@kbcafe.com. Thanks!

RSS on your TVNovember 10

The Samsung HDTVs support RSS via a feature called Infolink RSS. This places TV widgets on your screen, like news tickers, stock quotes and weather. I don't see that you can subscribe to any arbitrary RSS feeds. Anybody know more?

Google Analytics Tracking APIOctober 31

This website was selected to be part of Google's limited beta of their Event Tracking API. Read more. I doubt I'll participate. Don't have time. Don't know why they picked me. Usual laziness excuses.

Feed My InboxOctober 29

I just discovered Feed My Inbox, a new RSS to email service that is trying to fill the void left by SendMeRSS. "Feed My Inbox" was actually a trademark of Rmail, but I doubt NBC is paying attention.

RSS and emailOctober 24

Out of curiousity, I searched Google for RSS and email. Turns out Rmail-SendMeRSS was 3 of the 5 top results (results may vary). SendMeRSS is now dead and twice now people have asked if I had the old Rmail code and if I could just recreate Rmail. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. I thru away the code and even if I could find an old backup, I wouldn't feel right about re-using code I sold to NBC. Nevertheless, I could rewrite Rmail in a few days (given the free time). With SendMeRSS finally gone (what a horror story), I'm considering adding RSS-2-email services to Reblinks and polishing it off. Thoughts?
