• VJ / AV Battles

    Posted on January 12, 2005

    There’s an interesting event up in San Francisco Thursday night. Dimension7 is hosting a VJ Battle. The event starts at 9:30, and they’re going to be using SMS based voting to determine the winner. I wasn’t able to go to the last event they did, this one I’m definitely not... [Read More]

  • RSS Subscription Synchronicity

    Posted on January 11, 2005

    Apparently Dave Winer has been thinking about the same problem I was in terms of RSS subscriptions. I’m in favor of something a little simpler than what he described, but I can certainly see value in what he’s talking about. I emailed Dave to see if we could start trying... [Read More]

  • RSS Subscription Service Network

    Posted on January 9, 2005

    It seems like one of the major complaints that I hear most often about RSS is that it’s hard to use. Finding the XML link if there is one, choosing from multiple if there are different options, cutting and pasting the link, knowing where to put it, and dealing with... [Read More]

  • Feedster and Technorati

    Posted on January 8, 2005

    One of the questions I’ve been asked by a number of people since joining Feedster is “Are Technorati and Feedster competitors?” (or “Is there a difference between Feedster and Technorati?” or something along those lines). I was going to write up something to explain my take, but it looks like... [Read More]

  • Reopening Mobile and Open

    Posted on January 6, 2005

    Howard has posted a manifesto titled Mobile and Open, so I’m going to take this chance to jump in and reframe some of the stuff I’ve said along these lines before. I think it’s a great topic, and most people misinterpret what I mean when I say that there must... [Read More]

  • Comments Working Again

    Posted on January 4, 2005

    Thanks to Grant Schofield, who informed me that there was something wonky with comments on this blog. I ended up with a typo after my last spam filtering additions. Sorry if there are others trying to comment who haven’t been able. It should be all nice and cooperative now.

  • Feedster Contest

    Posted on December 30, 2004

    I was sad to see that Niall thought that the Feedster contest didn’t go well, especially because I’ve just recently joined Feedster myself. If his sentiment is shared by a lot of others I would like to hear about it. Email me at mrowehl at feedster dot com if you... [Read More]
