Another cool tool for building optimized syndication feeds: FeedBurner. The service just turned on today. There's a blog about the service here. It lets you build different kinds of RSS/Atom feeds from your original feed. For instance, you could build a feed that's optimized for mobile devices. And you can get new kinds of data from your feeds (for instance, they can turn on stats about your feeds, so you can learn more about who subscribes to you. Interesting idea. I built a feed for you here with some of the features turned on. It looks like the service is still having some startup problems. But, looks interesting. RSS/Atom is getting more mature with services like these.

Heh, Ken Levy's boss and teammates (hi Alan Griver) are joshing him cause I made it sound like Ken spent $600 to play old Mattel games on his PocketPC. But, in Ken's defense, he had an RSS reader (PocketFeed) and was reading his email via the free WiFi feed in the food court at the mall we meet at. I was most jealous.

What do Microsoft employees do during breaks? We surf RSS on our PocketPCs. Lenn Pryor was showing me Egress, another RSS reader for PocketPCs, which he says is better than PocketFeed because it doesn't make him horizontally scroll.
