Announcing: SDK for Share Your OPML. It's a draft, that means it can change. It's time to dust off the programming manuals and think about interesting apps you can build on the data behind the SYO website. It's off to the races in DeveloperLand! 

Notes for this evening's meeting. We're webcasting and are on IRC.  

Andrew Grumet is the first to ship an application using the SDK.  

RSS feeds whose title contains "librar". 

Feedster is aggregating subscription lists too.  

Microsoft's Bob Atkinson will be our special guest tonight at Berkman. I worked with Bob on SOAP. Caveat: Wind-chill of 40 below is forecast, if you're coming tonight, dress warmly! 

I'll be presenting at Microsoft Research on February 9 in Redmond, talking about weblogs, RSS, aggregators, OPML, content management, how we can work together. It's open to all Microsoft people. I'll also be in Redmond on the 10th. Scoble is planning a dinner (I think) on the 9th.  

A brief essay about bloggers tracking reporters. 

Joshua Marshall points to a tracking poll that has Kerry not just surging but leading in Iowa. 

Dowbrigade: Beware the citizen blogger. 

Ross Karchner is the new editor of Python.Scripting.Com. 

NY Times: "Carol Moseley Braun plans to end her bid for the Democratic presidential nomination and endorse Howard Dean on Thursday." 

BBC: "The US robotic probe that landed on Mars 10 days ago is preparing to roll off its lander and onto the surface."
