(Waiting for my train home to arrive, I finally have the opportunity to post this.) So with Reboot 9.0 and the after-party done, I think I’ll briefly write up my impressions of the second day. Stowe Boyd – Good talk as always, offering a new definition of ‘flow’. I guess his attempt to have people [...]

(Here’s the third post on the 2007 IA Summit. You can find the first one that introduces the series and describes the first theme ‘tangible’ here and the second one on ‘social’ here.)

Google Reader Improvements

I hadn’t touched Google Reader since taking a brief look at its initial launch in October 2005. I’m now using it as my primary reader, having grown tired of Rojo‘s poor performance and frequent interface overhauls. There’s a few things that have really improved since that first release.

I’m giving Rojo a spin right now. I transfered all my feeds from Bloglines yesterday and, after an initial feeling that the app was bloated, I must say I quite like it.

While I was still waiting for FeedLounge to launch and release me from the agony that is Bloglines‘ user experience – Google launches their Reader.

Dashboard

In Articles on 12 July 2005 tagged about, personal, RSS with Comments Off

This weekend I had some time to fiddle around with my homepage at www.leapfrog.nl. I decided to create a dashboard-like page that shows my latest contributions to several sites. I’m no programmer, so RSS Digest was a great help in glueing everything together. Thanks to the continueing opening up of the web’s content through RSS, [...]
