Don't like the way Netvibes and Bloglines displays each feed separately, I've got so used to linear additions to the feed when something is added. Nice and intuitive though. Shall we try and explain feeds to NM in words of one syllable? Hmm, interesting.

That'll be able to run Chucky Update and Repton 3 without freezing on the higher levels, plus I'm getting a 64 colour monitor to go with it. I r teh compootar king.

It is spectacular, and I think I'm finally 'getting' RSS. Today I worked out that a truly god-like overview of global 'content' is possible by creating a Netvibes tab specifically for Google News feeds. You just go to Google News, search for the the subject you're interested in (UK human rights, for instance) pick up the RSS link that's automatically generated on the left of the search results page, then plunk that into Netvibes. And repeat. This thing must have been made by journalists. It even lets you make up your own spreads. Yes, you’re right. It is spectacular, and I think I’m finally ‘getting’ RSS.

As I still don't understand RSS I think I'll stick to the old-fashioned "randomly visiting sites on the offchance they've got fresh content" model... Looks far too complicated.

This is a bit good. I think this will stop me doing anything else I was supposed to be doing. Cheers Cor! This is a bit good. I think this will stop me doing anything else I was supposed to be doing.
