i am not going to write another one of those blog-roller columns that goes, “dear (insert cute pet name here), there are sooo many blogs, but these are my most wicked favorite - call me!”…in fact, i’m not even going to tell you what i’m reading (if you’d like to know, then ping me and maybe i’ll cough up an OPML file for you). …i am also not going to type yet another rss tool review, (as in, “what the shit? there are sooo many rss readers that i think i might hurl, but here’s the one that sucks the least!”)…i just want to talk about two quick things.

first, a tool note: feeddemon. no deep or meaningful review, just this comment: i have tested four million rss readers (web based and local client) and this beats them all (so far). it’s like rss meets personalized newspaper meets radio (in terms of their newspaper/radio metaphor, you’ll have to see it for yourself).

the second item: how to keep a pulse on what everybody in the online world is thinking about right now with furl’s rss feed. it is the zeitgeist of the web (oh, and a gestalt) so seemingly simple that i find myself coming back to look at updates more often than howard dean says, “no, just the check thanks.”….why? it’s NOT a blog at all. it is just a full sprint…a constantly changing list of what people all over the entire world are bookmarking this very instant, 24/7/365, including other people’s blogs (had to connect it somehow to that stupid title).

if you’ve never heard of rss, and you’re like, “dave, how can i get some of that sweeeet sugar?” then you need look no further than this bookmark.
