Adotas RSS Breathes New Life into Coupons
One thing helping RSS become more mainstream (if it hasn’t already!) are offerings that people can use. We all know the time savings and efficiency that RSS brings but vertical use will speak volumes.
Here is an interesting article on how couponing is taking advantage of RSS. Add this to music, and news and it won’t be long before consumers see the light!

Who Cares about Visitors Connecting by Dial-Up?
(heard about it on The Escape Blog)
Nick Usborne and Marketing Experiments has a piece on Dial-up service and all I can say is ‘Amen’! I just spent the good part of a week on dial-up and it was painful. Broken images, downloads that never downloaded, ‘files not found’ all make for a tedious experience. The biggest drag, outside of frustration, is time wasted. Forget deep linking on a dial-up. You can also forget image heavy websites like The Washington Post.
Nick makes a great point though about the 35% of us that exist on dial-up. This all reminds me of a Guy Kawasaki line about eating your own dog food.
Ajax
Steve Rubel is talking about Ajax and advertising. I first heard about Ajax from Venturepreneur, in a funding conversation. Both of these folks mention Adaptive Path. Janice Fraser, Adaptive Path CEO, had a great essay on Ajax’s tipping point.
Something is happening right now, and the developer community has an electric gleam in its eye.
