Google Reader – starting to become the most popular. Gives numbers on how many subscribers there are for a feed. Not totally accurate but…gives some numbers. Has incorporated search – so you can search in your google reader in your saved items.
He’s used to being interrupted. He’s married.
Shared items – when you share your items, they become added to a list in which you can share (much like librarything, delicious, etc.
StevenMCohen.com – Life Feed via Tumblr.com!
Time for more hotness. Google buys Feedburner. IE, Vista, Firefox, have all incorporated feeds. LibWorm Beta – 1500 feeds from the library science community – created a database out of it. Now, do a search there and get automatic notifications of what you want.
We shouldn’t be going out to get information – we should be making information come to US.
Page2rss – let’s you do rss feeds on any page that doesn’t even have an rss feed. Only gets updated once a day though, so if it changes often throughout the day, you won’t necessarily get all the newest changes that day.
YouTube rss – http://www.youtube.com/rss/search/rem.rss – change rem to whatever you want an rss feed for.
Aiderss.com – analyzes, ranks, ranks feeds.
Tweetscan.com – stay on top of tweets!
Friendfeed – find out what everyone’s been doing all day.
PDF Escape – http://www.pdfescape.com - edit pdfs!
PDF me Not – http://www.pdfmenot.com - takes pdfs and lets you view it in a regular page!
Er….and maybe a bunch of other stuff! Got distracted by Tweeting friends!
