TechCrunch is featuring FeedCycle, a British product which enables you to 'cycle' through an RSS feed. It looks amazingly useful, since it basically allows you to, say, drip feed podcast archives to users, so you can catch up with stuff without it overwhelming you.

Want to see something interesting? How about a video on US military recruitment techniques. It doesn't seem so blatant here in the UK, but we still get it - "be the best" is the slogan they use. Yep, be the best professional killer you can be. If it weren't for the fact that so many people are coming back from Iraq in body bags, it would be amusing. I mean, how exactly is shining boots going to help someone become a concert pianist or a Ruby programmer or fashion photographer? 2006-11-26T15:42:48ZUntitled entry permalink
