dave, you’re right about netscape…

dave is rightmy netscape was the first major service to include RSS (back in ‘99). they did it to compete with my yahoo. netscape wanted to provide a differentiated experience, and didn’t want to play content BD catchup. but, at the time, folks weren’t used to the whole linking out experience and there wasn’t much content available in RSS. since then, blogging, search, and broadband happened…and, every major media company adopted rss in one form or another…thanks to dave and others for pushing this early on..

anyways, congrats to netscape…it’s nice to witness the product’s rebirth

ps - here’s the obligatory link to the netscape fish cam and a picture i took when i visited AOL back in may. and yes…this wonderful/quirky part of internet history is still there…

i’m pretty shocked. since it’s late and i’m tired, at first i questioned the veracity of it…but, it appears very very real…i’m disturbed and sort of speechless…shame on you ann coulter…i guess the good news is that due to the power of youtube, ifilm, etc, everyone is going to get to know the real you…

as a side note, i didn’t find this on the front page of the nytimes or yahoo news. i found it via ifilm’s viral videos feed…hmmm…

update - after publishing this, i saw that the embedded video displays a title that i’m not too comfortable having on my blog…so, in the morning i may change it to just link to the video at johnedwards.com

gmail…the honeymoon is over…

either that or the title should be “oh, the irony”

last week i switched from yahoo mail to gmail for my work email (i route my work email thru gmail to take advantage of the spam filtering and web access). being a long time yahoo person that was sort of a tough decision…

the main reason i switched? yahoo mail was putting too many good emails (three a week at least) in the spam folder. and, if that wasn’t bad enough, you can’t search spam…

however….that’s a whole lot better than being down for 12 plus hours like gmail was today for a subset of their user base. and, to top it off, i lost all my email for that period. maybe it will come back, maybe it won’t…

ughhh….gmail, i’ll give you one more chance…why? i understand what it’s like for companies to provide applications (free as well!) like this at scale…service interruptions do happen. also, it helps that i love the product - it’s fast, has great mobile access, and the threading is fantastic…so, please please, don’t disappoint…

ps - if you sent me an email today, please resend it…thanks!

update: seems like i’m starting to get email from earlier today…it’s trickling in..
