ReadWriteWeb posted 2007: The Year in RSS an interesting overview of RSS events over the past year.

According to InfoWorld:

Google is developing an online publishing platform where people can write entries on subjects they know, an idea that's close to Wikipedia's user-contributed encyclopedia but with key differences.

The project, which is in an invitation-only beta stage, lets users create clean-looking Web pages with their photo and write entries on, for example, insomnia. Those entries are called knols for "unit of knowledge," Google said. Google wants the knols to develop into a deep repository of knowledge, covering topics such as geography, history, and entertainment.

You can use ZapTXT to monitor topics on your favorite news sites, classified listings, job postings, blogs, sports teams or just about anything else you can think of. Simply create a feed and recieve notification any time the keyword appears!

NewsGator Technologies, the provider of a desktop RSS news feed reader, has raised $12 million in its fifth round of venture capital, led by new investor Vista Ventures.

Bloggers and free speech advocates are calling on prosecutors not to file charges against a teacher arrested for allegedly posting an anonymous comment online praising the Columbine shooters.


Some were disturbed by the post police say James Buss left on a conservative blog, but other observers said it was a sarcastic attempt to discredit critics of education spending.
