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.

RSS is a much easier format to use, and there's already much easier, much better tools like Slashdock that take advantage of RSS without being unweildy (as this seems to be).

NetNewsWire parses rss feeds and does a damn good job of it.
