Going backwards on RSS
October 26th, 2006
At a time when more and more sites intelligently offer RSS feeds, Bloomberg is moving backwards. Felix Salmon reports: “Bloomberg has killed them all. The ‘RSS feeds’ link still sits in the footer of Bloomberg’s web pages, but now it just redirects to a statement saying, in full, ‘This functionality is no longer available. We apologize for any inconvenience.’”
I didn’t think the people at Bloomberg were so obtuse.
The joy of Google Maps

One of the clever aspects of Google Calendar is its integration with Google Maps. You enter an address in your calendar item and you can click directly to a map.
Or not. I’m going to a dinner on Sunday on Kearny Street in San Francisco. The address was entered on a Google Calendar I have access to with the street address only. Click on it and what do I get? Kearny Close… in Rutherford, New South Wales.
