Killer Web Services App: Bus Monster
Thursday, June 23, 2005 4:24 PM
I love this guy: http://www.busmonster.com/technical.html This application is well informed useful and combines available web services that don't require the author to maintain master data (traffic, geography, bus locations) and adds value by aggregating these available services.

The Case for Real Syndication
Monday, November 08, 2004 1:24 PM
The problem with web log syndication formats is that they are rarely used for syndication.

He said that just like the news wire other blog writers can use the RSS feeds of other blogs... Read More...

xCalendar
Tuesday, March 09, 2004 5:41 PM
