I’ve been traveling a lot this week. Consequently, I’ve been spending a lot of time on planes. On my very first encounter with security I had to give up my hair gel, toothpaste, and shaving cream. At least I made someone’s day, not mine. Hair gel is over the line! It’s not even a liquid! Urrrrrr….
Ok back on topic…….
Offline RSS
- Make the graphics cache! Engadget really sucks without the graphics! In fact, many blogs contain graphics and multimedia. Give me an option to download and cache everything. That way RSS becomes usable offline. Why isn’t this in the spec?
- If a blog links to another blog in my OPML file, make the link work in my reader. Please!
- For those publishers that don’t post the full article in their feed – cache the actual page web.
User in control!
Podcasts
- Speed control – podcasts take to long to listen to at regular speed – it’s painful!
- 30 sec fast forward – ads today in Podcasts are valueless – guys please go look up reach and frequency! Godaddy 1000 times becomes valueless after impression #3. After 100 times if becomes anti-advertising. It pisses off the user!!!
- This may be a little late but if Gillmor Gang comes back. we need an Unsuck util for Steve’s podcast. The GG Unsuck util will download all 4 parts of the podcast, strip out the 5 mins of ads in each part, and rebundle into one ad free podcast. There should be an option for removing gang members by name as well. BTW, I would paid for this. Clearly the user is not in control here, Steve is!
Back to the airport. I wonder what I will be donating today.
