For Seymour

Yeat another “I'm the first! Wo-hoo!” (Man I hate those posts! So what is an RSS feed? Is it what you get hrough popular search engines or something? I got a whole lot of gobbledegoop on Mozilla / Galeon browser

Chris
How did you do it? I have a moblog at text america. How did you get an RSS with it?

Lancer, Rss feeds mean you can put the feed om your site to sydicate (typo) his photos, site or anything anyone rsses.

I just commented on this very thing over at Jason DeFillippo's site the other day! :)
Awesome… Can't wait for my 3650 to get here from Amazon so I can start my own…

I am getting one monday (hoping to.) right now i am taking pictures with my friends phone. I just got a new phone but its not keeping good signal and the phone company i use (i hope( will let me trade it out for a camera phone of course I will have to buy it but who cares.

A little tip for all you future 3650 owners. The Plantronics M1000 Bluetooth headset and the D-Link DBT-120 Bluetooth USB dongle DONT WORK with this goddam phone. They recomend a Belkin Bluetooth dongle, and the amazingly overpriced Nokia headset. I spent saturday learning this the hard way. Bluetooth 1.1 specification be damned!!!

k. i'm getting REALLY confused about this RSS stuff … i went there and it's just a bunch of code mumbo jumbo that jason would do. i've asked him wtf this rss stuff is too….

*le grand sigh*. RSS/Remote Site Syndication generates an XML file that will look like mumbojumbo if you try to just read it as a webpage. However, if you use a client that parses it, such as NewsGator or Syndirella or whatever, then you will be treated to a “push” form of the blog/webpage/whatever you normally have to go and visit.

great! ill update my newsreader…someday…

No *le grand sigh* about it Marie. Chris is wrong about the popularity of this RSS thing. AmphetaDesk (suitable reader) just failed to build in my system. Until it becomes standard for browsers to read RSS (I'm using the very latest Mozilla) there's nothing to sigh about – it's total crap.

*le grand sigh* was based on the fact that many people don't try to find out an answer on their own first. I mean, Chris has explained what it is, and if the OP wasn't reading then, it takes only a second to look it up.
As far as the popularity of RSS, I don't disagree with you. But for information junkies with a working tool–it's a brilliant timesaver. I was under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that Mozilla had a built-in RSS reader. And yet, just because one tool hasn't worked for you doesn't necessarily make it “total crap”.
Before settling on NewsGator, I tried several other aggregators, and really, I'm sold on the idea, even though not everyone LIKES push content. Different strokes and all that.

oy. i think i'm w/Lancer.

Sure, we all have opinions, I wasn't dissing Lancer. Personally, I love RSS. And have been lucky to find tools for handling RSS that work well for me. In barest terms, it's saved me roughly 2 hours a day that I spent on random surfing. YMMV, of course.
Imagine what a dull world this would be if we all liked exactly the same things!

Marie … i didn't think you were dissing Lancer … i just don't know much about this pooter stuff and rss wasn't workin on mine … it was just showing mumbo jumbo ….. technology has to be a little more user friendly before a simple girl like me catches on! :-*

Fair enough :) Like I said, it will just look like mumbo-jumbo unless you have a client that will read it. Which one did you try? Because when it works properly, it can be sort of like receiving emails or usenet postings.
