Why FeedDemon is Better
Couldn’t agree more.
Amit Agarwal highlights 10 features in FeedDemon that set it apart from the competition. Thanks, Amit! PS: I know my blog has been quiet for a while – it’s because there’s a new version of FeedDemon coming this week
Why FeedDemon is Better

A monolog, a dialog, a catalog
At Gilbane San Francisco this week, I was asked what the differences between a blog, a discussion board, and a wiki are. The title pretty much gives away where the discussion went… but here was the thought process:
- Although a blog facilitates a conversation through trackbacks, in many instances a blog serves as a soap box for a monolog. Personally, comments do not to seem to be crucial to many of the blog sites I visit.
- A discussion board facilitates dialog between visitors.
- A wiki facilitates creation of a catalog of information gathered across visitors.
For many of the people that came by, this metaphor seemed to help clarify things. It focuses on the mode of communication and can easily be conceptualized.

Speaking at Gilbane San Francisco 06
Cool! I was just invited to speak at the Gilbane Conference on the future of blogging in San Francisco this coming April. Not too sure of the format at this point, but in any event, it’ll be fun.
