Feed Me
Since migrating to Movable Type with this site, I've been introduced to RSS feeds and aggregators. And, like all new technology, it has been both daunting and exciting. The exciting bits are (a) finding a news feeder reader which fills all my needs, and (b) discovering the great things which are available through RSS.
My preferred reader right now is Feed Demon. Written by Nick Bradbury who wrote HomeSite (which is an application that I would be crippled without) and TopStyle (a CSS editing tool which is pretty damn useful as well), Feed Demon is still in beta but it appears to be solid and full of delightful functionality. Tri-pane organization, tabbed viewing of feeds, mounds and mounds of organizational options, and a clean interface.
The newest RSS treat is the weather as received from www.rssweather.com. All that you need to know about your location shot right to your aggregate reader. Joy.
