RSS
Behind the Firewall
I knew this day would come, but I've been trying to avoid it.
For roughly a year now, I've been happily reading various news
source by using RSS aggregators of various form and function. Some
were desktop apps and others were server-side. Some for Windows,
some for Linux, and some for OS X.
In recent months, there's been growing talk
about RSS at work. And I don't mean things like the
Finance, Ask,
or Buzz RSS
stuff. There's been talk of using it internally. We have a
growing number of internal weblogs (or people looking to experiment
with them) and some in-house tools that now generate RSS.
This is great.
But it's going to suck too.
The honeymoon is over. Now I need to have two
aggregators: one at home and one at work.
I'm used to doing this for e-mail, but that doesn't mean I like
it. I suppose I could start taking my laptop to work every day, but
then I'd have to take my laptop to work everyday.
I've been thinking about this for a while and haven't come up
with any good solution. I suppose that someone could work on
synchronizing aggregators. Then I could sync up my home and work
aggregators somehow. Maybe that'll happen?
I wonder if is going to become a more common problem as RSS
picks up steam in various companies.[via Jeremy Zawodny's blog]
