Hi there,

As a founder and still a major shareholder in Feedster I don't think its appropriate for me to comment in this context.

I will be blogging, permanently, on my new (ok it old but its new again) on my Fuzzyblog at http://fuzzyblog.com/ and information will be posted there as I feel appropriate.

That said, I will take the opportunity to pimp myself here a bit: I'm back in the consulting market and if you want the kind of expertise I have to offer, let me know. Resume will be posted on http://fuzzyblog.com/ shortly.

Best
Scott

Hey Robert,

Damn but you made my night. Thank you. Obviously I'm talking to all the normal players.

My contact info is on http://fuzzyblog.com/contact/ if you need to hand it off to anyone internally.

Rob -- you are so incredibly right. There are worlds of opportunity still in RSS. The concept of a regularly updated, presentation neutral stream of **extensible** easily parsable data is huge. Feedster was one application of it. I can come up with like 20 more easily. That said, recent* innovations such as Ajax, make lots of old opportunities new again.

And, in addition to talking to all the usual players, you can sign up to be notified for what I'm grinding out while I'm unemployed at http://www.ookles.com/ (obligatorily cool ajax powered, ruby on rails stealth home page; its fun to be trendy again).

*Ok its not really recent.

Thanks man.
Scott

Re: Oh, UserLand, where did my old blogs go?

Scott Johnson of Ookles — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 05:08:46 -0000

Damn! I lost mine too. They used to be at:

http://radio.weblogs.com/0103807/

I'd have gladly paid for a copy of radio annually to keep it there. They didn't ask. Sigh.

*Blush*. Why thank you so much Robert. Appreciated.

And Al the text version is, well, just FuzzyBlog itself. http://www.fuzzyblog.com/ but there isn't a text version of the podcasts themselves all the time. Sometimes but not always by anymeans.
