RSS <\/a>continues
\n to open doors into interesting new spaces as people figure out new ways
\n to create, consume, manipulate and share feeds. Dave
\n Winer<\/a> has come up with a unique and tres cool mechanism for sharing
\n aggregator subscriptions. After registering at the
\n site’s Home Page<\/a>, you can
\n post the OPML of your aggregator, see
\n what streams<\/a> scads of famous
\n and interesting bloggers<\/a> are reading, see who
\n is reading each of the members<\/a>,
\n and see who (among the users registered at the site) is subscribed
\n to your
\n RSS
\n feed<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n and selling subscriptions to a live feed of Glenn
\n Reynolds desktop (InstaFeed<\/a>).
\n You can’t do that yet, but you can see what Adam Curry, Dave Winer, Joi
\n Ito, Jeff Jarvis and others are reading on a daily basis.<\/p>\n
\n limited ability to check it on an hourly basis in turn limit how many
\n streams
\n we can subscribe to. My current measly total is 44 streams, and
\n the capacity of my aggregator means that the stories are shoved out the
\n bottom of the bin in about 4 hours. Which means, of course, that unless
\n we check our aggregator every four hours, we start to miss stories! What
\n if we miss the key to the universe? <\/p>\n
\n Adams, who reads 534, each story would only last about 20 minutes in
\n my aggregator. As unlikely as it may be, should we ever approach the
\n stratospheric level of all-time record holder Jay
\n McCarthy<\/a>, the Human
\n Aggregator (1001)<\/a>, the stories would only stay in cache for about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
\n which run parallel to my main aggregator. One just handles the
\n New York
\n Times feed<\/a>s we read, which linger almost exactly 24 hours at
\n the regular rate of flow, and another which just includes the regular
\n contributors to the Thursday Evening Meetings<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n that’s how human consciousness works, by aggregating the information
\n streams from our five senses, mixing with a little intuition, and weaving
\n it into a multi-media experience..<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
