At last: blog to bog technology comes of age

Every so often I wish out loud that there was a nice way of formatting blog posts so you could print them out as a little magazine. You could then read them on the bus or the bog and leave them behind for someone else to find.

It looks like with its Tabbloid service, Hewlett Packard might have cracked it. You give it a blog’s RSS feed (or several), your email address and a delivery time and it sends you a daily and nicely formatted PDF of that blog’s posts. A little jiggery-pokery at this end to trim out the stuff that doesn’t translate to paper – like Twitter feeds – and it could be a very nice little toy.

    That’s fantastic.

    Finally I can get rid of the mangy paperback I’ve currently got in the bog…

      It’s the perfect by-the-bog book and credit crunch gift considering it now retails at less than lavatory paper. Can’t vouch for the absorbency however. Not many people were absorbed by it.
