Gates via Gizmodo on RSS
gmail email atom
Google’s gmail comes complete with an Atom feed that I’m consuming in Sharpreader, my feed reader. I’ve known for some time that I could set up an RSS feed for my IMAP mail on cloudsoup.com but it’s nice this comes ready-cooked. One up to gmail.
Welsh Assembly on RSS
From Forbes Magazine:
By Internet standards RSS is ancient, invented circa 1997
From the Welsh Assembly:
At this stage, however, Cymru Ar-lein is not in a position to do more than monitor the rise in popularity of both RSS and Weblogs.

Roll your own

Personalised weather forecast podcasts
The ridiculously productive Ben Hammersley is proposing a LazyWeb (that was one of his) project: personalised weather forecasts delivered to your MP3 player from some (probably) XML-based source of weather information on the web, via a text-to-speech convertor to a podcast.
Weblog, Wordpress, RSS
In the course of trying to tidy up cloudsoup a little I noticed that my RSS feeds’ contents weren’t formatted nicely in my News Reader - SharpReader. Not a Sharpreader problem it turns out, but (I think) a Wordpress problem.
Welsh Assembly not quite ready for RSS
The Welsh Assembly hasn’t grasped the possibilities of RSS (or Atom) syndication. Although sites like AssemblyOnline have been providing RSS feeds of the Welsh Assembly media briefings and forum postings for some time, it seems the Welsh Assembly itself thinks you aren’t quite ready for it. Here’s what they say:
