Using RSS for Service Announcements
Why don't Comcast and other ISPs use locality specific RSS feeds to notify customers of upcoming schedule maintenance windows, customer service alerts, and so on? For that matter, why can't I subscribe to an RSS feed for any product I buy that alerts me to upgrades, and so on? As far as I know not even "in the RSS groove" companies do this. Create product specific RSS feeds and display them prominently in the "About" box, the product page on your Web site, and anytime the software is downloaded.

Blox for Your Blog
Laszlo's got a collection of blog boxes of "blox" that allow you to put pictures, sound, links, clocks, and the weather on your blog. I've done similar things on the right hand side of this blog, but they're all one-offs. Having a collection of standard blox will be nice.

KSL Has a Blog
Last week, I wrote about KSL Radio's RSS feeds. Today I was surprised to see some referrals from KSL's blog. I didn't know they had one. The blog is reporters posting their thoughts about stories, context, and even information about their preparation for a story. Very interesting. Subscribed.
