Video posts not shown in RSS feed
Just thought I’d let you know that I’m working on this problem. Should be just a configuration on the RSS feed itself. I’ll be testing some changes today, so hopefully, I’ll get that corrected shortly.
Of email, feeds, research and planning
That is the makeup of my tasks this week. While I’m pretty much caught up on my email, I do have a large backlog of feeds that I need to parse through and read. Luckily Google Reader makes that easy.
As for the rest of the week, I’ve got a lot of work in the research and planning phases that will help me find and meet with new clients. I’ve got a number of ideas and will pursue them along with some good old-fashioned in-person networking.
A few things that are tripping me up this week are my phone and those little config details on my new laptop. My phone has been kind of goofy every since I got back from Florida last month, but it really is acting strange in the past week. I can’t seem to get everything to sync in Vista yet (though I have had it work in the past) and the alarms do not go off when they are supposed to. A little later today I’ll try re-flashing the firmware to see if I can weed out the bad apples on the darn thing.
Also, even though a person gets all the major applications, utilities, plugins, bookmarks and other such items set up on a new computer, there always seems to be some last little things. I seem to find that I’m missing little bits of productivity every 30 minutes or so, just because of a forgotten config, tool, bookmark and so on.
Other than that, it’s been a productive 1st half of the week, can’t wait to meet with a few other people that I want to connect with and see what happens from there.
Easton Asks: How Do You Read Web Feeds?
Easton Ellsworth has discovered and converted to Google Reader as his main feed reader and has followed a post from Web Worker Daily and asks How do you read RSS feeds? So, ok I’ve got my own method or pattern for reading my feeds in Google Reader – which is the only feed reader as far as I’m concerned.
So, here it goes:
- Morning: Start with the All Items “river of news” style view going from top to bottom using my mouse scroll wheel, marking posts started (s), and shared (shift-s).
- Daytime: Keep following the All Items view, refreshing a few times to see what’s current.
- Evening: Focus on reading A-List feeds, and then technical feeds, then mobile device related feeds.
Overall, I really have become enamored of the river of news view that Dave Winer pioneered (thanks Dave!). Thanks for the question Easton!
As to why I read feeds, it simply is multitudes faster than individual sites. It’s also much more up to date than traditional media, which has caused me to cancel or let expire all my magazine subscriptions. They just can’t compare to the information shared by bloggers, or published to the news feeds.

Review of Feedburner by Aaron Brazell
If you’ve been interested in how well Feedburner handles serving feeds, you may be interested in Aaron Brazell’s review.
His perspective in this review, is from the point of view of a blog network – b5media – which pumps several dozen feeds through the service. Because of the number and variety of feeds, the needs are unique, there are some items on his “wish list” that just don’t apply to individual bloggers.
Goods stuff Aaron!
jkOnTheRun: Reading RSS feeds in IE7 and Outlook 2007
Have you heard of the RSS features in Internet Explorer 7? How about Outlook 2007? Yep, Microsoft baked RSS goodness into the two most-used desktop applications from Redmond.
What? How well do they work? It just so happens that Kevin Tofel has a great overview of RSS in the two products. It really is a an honest appraisal of how well Microsoft has implemented RSS.
Integration is quite good, but the feature set is a little lacking. Still, if you’re starting out with RSS – these two applications will help you get a good understanding of how RSS can help you consume more information faster than simply browsing news sites.
Good read.
