			<outline text="I'm building an upstream file for RSS people, browsing My.UserLand and finding lots of new &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/choose?s=1&amp;M=100&quot;&gt;channels&lt;/a&gt;. "/>
			<outline text="I found a channel for &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/viewChannel$2567&quot;&gt;Xerox PARC&lt;/a&gt;, the place where GUIs were developed in the 1970s. "/>
			<outline text="Paul Nakada submitted several channels that were queries on Yahoo, including one for &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/viewChannel$1401&quot;&gt;SOAP&lt;/a&gt;, one for &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/viewChannel$1045&quot;&gt;UserLand&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/viewChannel$1400&quot;&gt;XML&lt;/a&gt;. "/>
			<outline text="I am inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/viewChannel$1693&quot;&gt;Black Hole Brain&lt;/a&gt; in a whole new way."/>
			<outline text="So what was the purpose of all this trawling? To see how RSS &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/worldOutlineSnapshotAugust1.gif&quot;&gt;integrates&lt;/a&gt; with the World Outline concept. It works pretty well."/>
			<outline text="Then Brent released the new app with the color icons, it &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/colorIconsInWorldOutlineSna.gif&quot;&gt;looks a lot nicer&lt;/a&gt; with a bit of color. BTW, it loads the icons from a folder, so users can change the icons easily. &lt;i&gt;Please do!&lt;/i&gt;"/>

			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://doc.weblogs.com/2000/08/16&quot;&gt;Doc Searls&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;Eazel is a Finder. It fills the same role for Linux that the Finder has for Apple since Andy wrote it back in the late Pleistocene and Susan gave us all those pixel-perfect icons.&quot;"/>

			<outline text="Ken Dow has &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.userland.com/gems/manilaNewbies/ManilaUsersGuide-8-16-00.pdf&quot;&gt;converted&lt;/a&gt; the Manila user's guide to PDF for easy printing."/>

		<outline text="Tomorrow's features">
			<outline text="Murphy-willing tomorrow Radio UserLand will have news feeds, in outlines, of course. A kind of personal aggregator. "/>
			<outline text="How to visualize it. Look at this &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.userland.com/viewChannel$1221&quot;&gt;page&lt;/a&gt;, and imagine the same content in an outliner. This could also be the test-bed for new publish-and-subscribe features for syndicated content. I have an inkling this will be easy. We'll see how it goes."/>
			<outline text="At 4PM, it's &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.userland.com/images/radiodiscuss/newsfeed2.gif&quot;&gt;working&lt;/a&gt;!"/>
			<outline text="Another new feature coming in the next few hours, &lt;a href=&quot;http://static2.userland.com/pictures/internal/colorfulOutlines.gif&quot;&gt;customizable color icons&lt;/a&gt;. We look forward to passing this version on to people who do colorful icons."/>

		<outline text="The future of RSS">
			<outline text="There's been discussion on the Syndication mail list on eGroups of new formats to succeed RSS 0.91. "/>
			<outline text="There's been a specific proposal which I pointed to on Monday. I asked for an A-B comparison, so here's &lt;a href=&quot;http://static.userland.com/gems/backend/sampleRss.xml&quot;&gt;Flavor A&lt;/a&gt;, and here's &lt;a href=&quot;http://my.theinfo.org/rss/newversion.xml&quot;&gt;Flavor B&lt;/a&gt;."/>
			<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.egroups.com/group/syndication&quot;&gt;Comment&lt;/a&gt; on the Syndication mail list."/>
			<outline text="I had some comments here on my role in the continuation of RSS, at the end of the day, all I want to say is this, I have no idea where RSS is going, and I want to take some time away from it, keep doing the music stuff, new content tools, and play with some ideas, and get back to you in a couple of weeks."/>
