Aaron's RSS to Email Aggregator :: OSDir.com :: Open Source Software, Reviews & News Many people have their email clients so well tuned that to ask them to get their news from another application or client is close to sacrilege. So, lets solve their problem and go one step further. Let's use this to automate your site's RSS feed into a mailing list so you can serve both camps. Yummy. Let's go...

Let's see then I can then auto forward them to my cell phone... and be instantly informed whenever Dave Winer sneezes... :-)

An Introduction to Weblogs and RSS...

in

O'Reilly Network: Understanding Weblogs [Dec. 30, 2002] One of my favorite stops when browsing O'Reilly Network is the list of weblogs running down the right side of the home page. Explained simply, weblogs, or blogs, are informal writings, discussing something of interest or simply trying to make a point. O'Reilly weblogs tend to be technology-focused. But other weblog sites, such as Boing Boing, or Brian Jepson's Radio Weblog, cover a wide array of topics.

A good introduction to weblogs and RSS. A good article to share with those new to the idea of weblogs and syndication...

Joi Ito's Moblogging, Blogmapping and Moblogmapping related resources. This site is a good place to keep tabs on moblogging.

Some folks have tweaked Movable Type to do the same thing but with the distinction of also allowing image posts. Understand that Radio can do this too. I am going to see about setting this up so I can take pictures with my Clie (NR-70V) and post them to a blog...

Until recently fan fiction was limited to small groups of individuals but it is now becoming a global phenomenon thanks to the internet.

XML.com: What is RSS? [Dec. 18, 2002] RSS is a format for syndicating news and the content of news-like sites, including major news sites like Wired, news-oriented community sites like Slashdot, and personal weblogs.
