Next to the 'RSS Platform' – but it isn't using RSS. Building this has given we so many ideas!! And now I have all the code bits done to get them working. Hmmmm. .;)
When we get the ubrowser fully in SL – Flash will TAKE OVER! 🙂
All this news about Bill’s movements along with other stuff recently has reminded me very much of the first email I ever sent.
I was the only person I knew who had ever even heard of the internet. I had no one else to try sending one to. I very much doubt it was ever read – but it didn’t bounce. And back then, well before inbox-overwhelming spam, you’d have known if it did 😉

To Bill Gates:
| Greeetings from the UK. |
| [… a short sentence about myself…] |
| Twenty years ago people would have laughed if you told them that it will be possible to earn a living sat at a desk in front of a screen, tapping away at plastic buttons, moving a device called a mouse around on a soft pad. |
| IN TWENTY YEARS TIME YOU WILL BE ABLE TO EARN A LIVING SAT AT HOME, WEARING SPECIAL GLASSES AND GLOVES, CLICKING YOUR FINGERS WHILE WAVING YOUR ARMS AROUND IN THE AIR. |
| MICROSOFT SPACE. MICROSOFT ROOMS. |
| Close the Windows, the room’s getting cold. |
| Now who’s laughing? |
| Thank you for your time. |

It was just over a year ago when I first met the Scobleizer!
And in honour of that, here's the first time I spoke to him. Dave Winer, while in Florida on a beach gave me his cellphone number, so I called it via Skype from London then hooked the three of us up for a goofy chat which we uploaded for a podcast 😉 Those were the days :)))
UPDATE: fixed the mp3 link – was going to the old box
I was asking Chris Pirillo today if there was an OPML list of the attendees and their RSS feed for this year’s impending geekfest in Seattle, Gnomedex6.0. He pointed me to a few feeds created by a service at Blogrolling.com
One of these feeds was RSS 0.92 and seems to be used to supply the website link and rss feed url, using the description for the RSS.
So, I knocked up a quick PHP script which takes that RSS 0.92 feed and converts it, in the best way I can figure out, to OPML.
And hey, I’m even giving you the PHP source code I actually used to do it. VIEW THE SOURCE, LUKE!
Don’t say I never give you anything 😉
UPDATE: Heh. I just saw a hit on the file from a familiar IP address and the ‘User Agent’ – Frontier/9.0.1 (WinNT) – that can only be one person I know 😉
No prizes for guessing where this OPML is about to show up ? 😉 Ahh – there it is!
Would it be wrong for me to add a link to podcast.com in the external link section of the entry for podcasting on Wikipedia? Dare I?
Put up an ad for Gnomedex next to ‘The RSS Platform’ in SL with a flickr viewer, called ‘flissl’. Just after, I bumped into Chris in SL who still had a bottle attached to his head 😉

Here's the OPML for this level, which will grow 😉 Feed readers and 'Grazrs' enjoy!
I added the feed submission form last night on the podcast.com home page. Soon this will be folder specific – so people can submit feeds for any branch/folder level. Feeds that get added will be checked by our system first, then eventually added to an appropriate folder. Soon, users will be the ones who'll be able to do this too, thus 'curating' their own podcast directories.
By popular demand, you can now browse/graze and listen to all the podcasts aggregated by NPR (National Public Radio) by visiting http://npr.podcast.com
Soon we’ll have the tools to be able to provide custom content at the ‘home’ level of *any* of the nodes/branches – making these cool subdomains even cooler!
Wow. Has Techmeme become GoogleMeme? It seems that as soon anyone writes about Google, then everyone does – then the whole of Techmeme is ‘ALLABOUTGOOGLE’.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Google released something and then NOBODY wrote about it on their blogs etc – then they might not be so powerful 😉 As it seems that people are very concerned about Google’s power. Don’t they realise that those people who do write about them ARE the ones giving them power? heh.
In celebration of Vloggercon this weekend in San Francisco, I have added a load more Video Podcast (vlog) feeds to the video podcast directory at podcast.com
Enjoy! There will be alot more to come, as well a better way to view the videos in your browser.
You can find them all by visiting http://video.podcast.com
