Gilmor prods Microsoft again to get on the RSS bandwagon.

Heh. Steve Gillmor, on his eWeek blog, wrote a whole rant about how shocked he is that adoption of RSS is so high at Microsoft (I was shocked it's so low). "Bottom line: it's absurd that Microsoft is counting on a small Denver ISV to reverse engineer a closed-system black box like Outlook just because Outlook remains the strategic center of Office and therefore the desktop."

Steve's only going to be happy when we ship a version of Windows with orange XML icons everywhere. Actually, I like that vision too!

Onfolio good research tool, but $30, still undecided

I spent part of this evening checking on Onfolio. It requires you to install .Net, and results in a research took and file system, being installed on your computer.

However, I am not sure it delivers more than the existing Copernic products, and Copernic Agent is still free, while Onfolio is $30. For example Copernic Summarizer does just that it summarizes info from web pages, Onfolio seems more like a NetFile Cabinent than anything else. Not sure I will spring for the $30 once my trial software expires!
