Rename RSS “FRED”?
ø
No, I’m not serious. Just spring fever, whimsy, or my brain crashing
after deadline. Call it aggregated giddiness… I was trying
Bloglines, the online RSS aggregator, and subscribed to a few too many
feeds… “Bloglines Notifier” popped up yesterday and told me I had
24,992 messages waiting, just as three friends’ blogs and a couple of
e-mails arrived concerning a silly contest to “rename” RSS.
It doesn’t need to be renamed… It needs to be SUPPRESSED, and the
sooner the better. As one of my favorite philosophers would say, “Yow.”
Tomorrow I’ll avoid the computer altogether.
