RSS Feeds / News Aggregators
In trolling one of my fave sites, The Register, looking for the announcement of their mobile-friendly version (not yet... ), I noticed they do offer a RSS feed of the 10 latest headlines.

Anyone here been playing with RSS feeds? They are basically a XML-coded pages, but need a news aggregator to read them. These RSS feeds are apparently popular with Weblogs as news feeds, and a Google search revealed there are a lot of readers/aggregators out there. There is even a PocketPC converter available, but alas, I didn't find a PalmOS converter...yet.

The RSS feeds might be a new type of mobile content we should look at, and will research more into that area when I have time.

In the meantime, would like to hear from anyone else here who knows about the RSS feeds, how to implement, use (especially if anyone knows how to get them onto a PalmOS PDA), etc.

Interesting.
