RSS Awareness Day
When college girls ask me to explain RSS, I tell them it’s like the friend updates on their social networks — but for the whole Internet. RSS has so fundamentally liberated content from form, so efficiently freed information from silos, so powerfully shifted attention control from publishers to readers, that it deserves to have its own special day. In fact, it does: RSS Awarness Day.
Interesting that RSS Awareness Day is so near the anniversary date of spam. The former is a cure for the latter.
Google Reader for the Wii
Google Reader now sports a special interface for the Nintendo Wii’s Opera browser. If you’re using a regular browser, you can see what the Wii interface looks like here. Very cute.
