7 June 2003Really sensible specificationThe always-inventive Kevin Aylward has a suggestion for the next generation of RSS distribution: What I'm looking for in a next generation news reader is an advanced level of filters, view, and rules. One analogy that comes to mind is the Outlook rules engine. I would like to be able to have multiple views of my RSS space: one view with all the subscribed feeds; another view that shows all posts that meet certain key word matches; another view that is a combination of rules, etc. For rules I'm thinking things like: Show all post from InstaPundit.com from today + any post from these 4 blogs about the Times scandal + the Asshated Celebrities category from Rachel Lucas. I could go for that. In fact, I think I could go for that very rule, so long as the Times scandal still smolders. And of course, once more of us use RSS daily, as we likely would if we had tools like that, more of us would clean up our generic RSS templates. :) Re a NYTimes article about why America is hated: All three of the following comments in Sunday’s “answer to your answer” ignore the Mighty Godhead, and the Saints who pray for His will to be done here. 1. yes frightened by the unopposed power of an Administration that has total disregard for those who disagree with it and that threatens the future of this world with its indifference to anything outside of its own plans [and] that addresses the interests of a very, very small but exceedingly wealthy group of people and institutions." 2.but we can give them an ear. And we can respectfully make clear as day that we understand their worries, we feel their pain, and this is why we disagree. 3. "All I know is that you can be a large physical presence in a barroom, but you don't have to make fun of people, be pushy, or respond to hostility with a punch. ** cogit8: "Mr. Friedman's columns are refreshing to read now, especially since he's seen the light on how badly wrong the whole zionist enterprise against Iraq could go." Please get this “response to a response to a response” to Mr. Friedman. I may know the Truth about the End-Times, but I DON’T KNOW HIS E-MAIL ADDRESS!! And.kindly, pass this among your editors for their thoughtful consideration. Hey, McGehee, you didn't tell me Barney had a sister.
