Ugh. Why are we posting these long lists when we could be posting tasty, crunchy OPML that no one can read...

I was hoping for more, but a good part of the book seems to be rehash from the first book. The emphasis on PAA is almost useless to me because I try to do everything through my Treo 600. Still, after having looked at numerous Palm programs, I've found that NOTHING fits. The PAA, of course, being a sheet of paper at its most basic, is ultimately flexible. I'm not a palm programmer, so I can't "just write something for palm" to scratch my own need.

Instead I've done the next best thing, which is to write a Rails app for this, which is, of course, accessible from the Treo and just about any other place. http://www.shokk.com/Todo/

All in all, there are some very good nuggets of info concentrated into the fewer pages of this book from the whole of the previous book, which did not wholly deal with time management and had those ideas spread throughout the book.
For an idea of what the book talks about, see the video here.

My beef with iTunes is the memory footprint. However, because I can do a Rendezvous stream over an SSH pipe, it's the tool for me right now.

I like Feed On Feeds. The new Yahoo Mail interface is so terribly slow that I went back to the old version.

Um... RTFM?
It's an RSS reader, not a blog management system.

I think it sucks compared to solutions like Feed On Feeds.

The new Yahoo Mail is just too friggin slow. Waaaay too slow. Bad enough that I keep thinking of abandoning my email address of 10 years for my GMail address. The only thing that keeps me is the uncertainty about whether GMail or any portions of it will ever be a pay service. Yahoo currently has its address book and calendar features (and their sync capability) going for it, but have no doubt that Google will soon have these out with guns blazing and bleeding edge new ideas. My only disappointment lately with Google has been the new Reader for RSS feeds, but Yahoo's completely blows by comparison so they both have room to improve. I prefer Feed On Feeds over both.

I have a nice review of Google Reader vs Feed On Feeds at my site. Feed On Feeds is my current feed reader.

So...slow...can...feel...years...slipping...away.
Seriously, compared to the Feed On Feeds reader that I currently use, this is way too slow, too klunky, and just plain laid out wrong. I welcome the day they improve the beta to the point of usability, but today is not that day.

Check out FeedOnFeeds if you have your own web server. You can access the same content from home or work for reading your feeds. I have a reblog patch that lets you mark articles for including in a feed of your own.

I find it very useful for keeping up with rarely updated Sourceforge projects as SF has feeds for all announcements done for a project. Web comics, news, entertainment, etc. Who wants to waste time going to web sites to see if they've updated? One look at your feed reader will show you what's new, leaving you time for reading more content, or just plain doing something else.

Let me add to that. I keep track at the following sites:

Web-based interfaces are the only way RSS should be done, unless you use one computer everywhere to access your feeds. Otherwise you're just spending time syncing your list between computers and trying to figure out which stories you read last out of each feed. When you're talking about 50+ feeds, this is a major pain. I use FeedOnFeeds for my web based reader, preferring the slim interface that FoF provides over Bloglines. You can even add a republish patch to check off select articles to instantly roll into a feed of your own.

The point, however, is that with such an interface it doesn't matter what web browser or OS you are using, similar to when you access Gmail.

I love the Google Mail interface for reading mail, but as a feed reader it just won't cut it. I would rather use something like FeedOnFeeds in frame mode for best text density. I even use a republish patch to reuse the feed reader to publish select links. Since everyone from CNN to Sourceforge uses RSS feeds to distribute articles, I never ever have to go randomly browsing for content. Either it's in the reader or it isn't published yet.

Unless I can see the same feeds in the same status from any location regardless of whether my home computer or work computer is on or even nearby, it is inconvenient. That's why I use a web-based feed reader such as Feed On Feeds. If I go to the nephew's house, I don't have to try to remember all my feeds to configure his aKregator (stupid stupid name, folks) for my tastes. Local aggregators are plain dumb except for those people that explicitly divide their home and work lives and can maintain two or more separate feed lists, or those that just need a single place to view their news.

The FoF interface is very simple and really useful, and with my patch you can even republish select articles from mixed feeds to another RSS feed.
