Trying out Rojo

As I am lucky enough to have been invited to Rojo (thanks to Le Danois - let's call it Scandinavian kindredness :-) ). It has been almost a fortnight trying it out, and I must say it's quite nice: as a content aggregator and RSS feed tracker, I think it does a better job in terms of interface than the other aggregators I have tried, such as the ones integrated into Outlook (NewsGator for instance).

I have actually begun realizing that while having the feeds directly coming in Outlook is nice (in that it centralizes mails, news, contacts, calendars in one single place), having a web interface (and why not, a drag 'n' drop feature à la Furl) is of course more flexible in the long run. Now, I would like to find an hybrid client / site that could combine both aspects (an analogy to what Plaxo is doing for synchronizing contacts): a new alternative concept for aggregating content on both heavy and light clients?

QR code generator

A quick follow-up to my previous post: I've stumbled onto a nifty webpage that generates QR codes. Who will be the first to decode the picture on top of this post? ;-)

Google News in Japan(ese)

During a casual checking at Google's newspage, I noticed that they finally opened a Japanese version of their automated newscrawling engine. They also have started a Korean version, but I'm not really versed into the joys of Hangûl writing, so I will just say 凄いだよ！
