Jetplane Journal » Blog Archive » Jetplane review: Times - a unique new feed reader for OS X

  • Earlier this week I mentioned Times, a new RSS reader for OS X that has been generating some buzz.


    Written entirely by 19 yr old Dustin MacDonald it makes extensive use of the latest Leopard technologies for a truly unique but intuitive take on the feed reader concept.

Grazr 1.0 blasts off into the future of RSS

  • Grazr, the mini OPML browser that puts mortal widgets to shame, just launched version 1.0. The Grazr team is led by founder Michael Kowalchik and Adam Green - who as CTO at Andover.net, the parent of Slashdot and many other sites, took the company to its IPO. What are they up to today? Something very forward looking. I really like Grazr and I think the company’s plan for the future is very smart.


    Grazr is a service that displays OPML files (outlines most commonly made of bundled RSS feeds) in an easily read format that you can interact with inside the Grazr box. It’s a joy to use; flip through the embedded Grazr display on this page by clicking on title links and using the left sidebar or arrow keys to go back up a level in the outline. It’s literally a way to graze dyanmic information nested in outline form.





    <script src="http://grazr.com/gzloader.js?font=Arial,Helvetica&fontsize=9pt&linktarget=grazrwin&file=http://talkcrunch.com/wp-content/grazr.opml" type="text/javascript" defer="defer"></script>

  • Green told me that the company has enough money to last through next spring or summer; they’ll go back to their angel investors in Winter and raise some more if they need to. Then they’ll be ready when the web has wrapped it’s collective mind around this sort of service as far more than a widget for sticking on MySpace. At that time they may monetize co-branding, enterprise Grazr servers behind the firewall, or still other options that will solidify in time.


    I think this is a company with a great chance of playing a very important roll in the future of the web. As Green said to me today, if HTML was the architecture of Web 1.0, RSS is the architecture of Web 2.0. I couldn’t agree more and I can’t wait to see what this service that was once a little widget grows up to be.

What is Structured Blogging?

  • "Structured blogging is about making a movie review look different from a calendar entry...formatting blog entries around their content." Kind of cool, but I'm not sure I like the idea. It leaves less to the imagination. - wroush on 2006-03-29
