'Feedosphere Weekly Pick of the Pack' for the Week Ending 21 December 2005

Time again for another week of the feedosphere's finest. And yes I CAN count to ten... Remember, winners each receive this attractive GIF for use in shameless web promotion of their feed prowess.


The Feedosphere Weekly Pick of the Pack for the week ending 21 December brings ten great things to think about from this past week's feedosphere.

Impacting me is the 'globalization' of the RSS icon by Firefox and now Microsoft; hence, the reason for two 'number twos' in the list. It's a sort of mash-up of the old Saturday Night Live "Point/Counterpoint" sketch with Dan Ackroyd and Jane Curtin played by Steve Rubel (MicroPersuasion) and Bill Flitter (Pheedo).
