02/20/2006
A number of new RSS management tools
have popped up. The following tools all make
managing RSS feeds easier.
rss2html.php - Free PHP script for
displaying RSS feeds as html web pages.
FutureRSS - The future-rss.php script
is used to automatically delay the publication
of Items in an RSS feed. This allows Items in
a RSS feed to be created ahead of time, and
then slowly released over a period of time.
RSS Cache - The rss2html Cache module
reduces bandwith and speeds up the process of
displaying RSS feeds as html web pages.

:: Press Releases
a Dying Breed?
02/19/2006
Steve Rubel has a great post about
bloggers invading the space of bloggers -
Google has come out swinging, defending their
stance in the DOJ search data matter. However,
they did not issue a press release. Rather they
went with a blog post by Nicole Wong, Associate
General Counsel. AP takes notice. I think the
tide has turned. The press release is dying.
Someone ought to do a study tracking daily press
release volumes. I bet they're decreasing in
favor of blogging.
