Maple Leaf 2.0 - Technology and Web 2.0 News in Canada

Marshall Kirkpatrick, Master of RSS, sharing his secrets next week

by Tris Hussey on February 15th, 2008

I think Marshall Kirkpatrick is one of the few people I can safely say consumes more RSS on a regular basis than I do.  My 775 feeds pales in comparison to his 1000+.

We both, however, are passionate, users and evangelists for RSS.  Services that provide information, but not in RSS…not even on my radar.  I try to avoid them like plague.  Like me Marshall uses an offline reader (NetNewsWire for him, FeedDemon for me, both by NewsGator–Marshall have you tried their mobile tools?  You really should).

Regardless Rick on Techvibes highlighted something that I would gladly pay money to see-Marshall talking about RSS for competitive intel and market analysis:

I can safely say that no one has taught me more about the benefits of RSS than Portland’s Marshall Kirkpatrick. And now, he will be sharing some of his insights on RSS and its potential benefits to your business during a “lunch & learn” at the Oregon Technology Business Center (OTBC) on February 19.

I’ve played with using RSS to do that and developed some proto-services for it as well.  If Portland weren’t so far away, I’d be there in a heartbeat.  If you’re close by there, go.

Now if you’d like to pick my brain on this topic, I’d be happy to speak to your group as well.

And if you haven’t subscribed to the aideRSS feed of Canadians (needs a refresh-I have new ones) or Marshall’s from ReadWriteWeb (also powered by aideRSS).  These are serious time savers.

The picture of Marshall is from this year’s DEMO conference.

And speaking of RSS, Marshall’s review of Assetbar is a good read. I haven’t tried it, but I would like to–and I think I might–love how services are getting more and more integrated.
