Fitting Slashdot Into Your Schedule

droleary writes "Looking for more ways to fit the new iCal into your life, or just a way to check web site updates without it looking like you're not working? Well Subsume Technologies has just announced a cool new way to do it: wCal. You can subscribe to frequently updated calendars that are headlines of (hopefully a growing number of) web sites, including a constant-refresh-ending Slashdot: Apple calendar (the press release has the subscribe link)." I first heard of this idea from Morbus Iff back on Sept. 11, and am still not convinced of the utility, but it's an interesting idea. Maybe it will catch on.

News Ticker "Calendar"?

[amichalo]

I don't know about this - It's a calendar program, not a news ticker. This smacks of iPods with calendaring too - it CAN be done but should it, and doesn't it dilute the PURPOSE of the application - forcing one day for the iCal team to have to add features (or be blamed later) that are out of scope from the start.

I recall hybrid Spring PCS cell phone/MP3 players and other such monsters. iCal is just getting started, I would hate to see it morph into a non-focused application.
