Yet another Hackathon at FeedBurner (#4).  Guys – you really need to cut back on the sugar and caffeine.  Eh – never mind – keep consuming!  Eric (one of FeedBurner’s founders and CTO) dissects the hack he did (an “Event Feed” service.)  It’s kind of like “Being Eric Lunt” in the spirit of “Being John Malkovich.”  Plus we get a cool new FeedBurner service (on the Optimize Tab under Event Feed for those of you following along at home.)

Jack Bauer was very busy last night.  I didn’t realize his family was so large, or so evil.  I expect his reunion with his dad won’t be as enjoyable as mine was.  I’m on the east coast somewhere today enjoying real cold but little snow (unlike Ben who is merely enjoying the unreality of snow in Boulder) plowing through my email and feeds before my day starts.  My friends at NewsGator have given me yet another way to read RSS feeds with their new NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand (NGEOD – or NGOD for those of you that are atheists) product.  If you want to try out enterprise RSS for free for 30 days and like Software as a Service (or On-Demand, or – if you are old school – ASP), now is your chance.

eWeek has long been one of the staples of my bathroom magazine reading habit.  Imagine my delight when I saw that the cover story in the latest issue is RSS in the Enterprise.  My friends at NewsGator are prominently featured along with case studies from several of their enterprise customers.  If you’ve ever wondered why RSS in the enterprise is going to be so important and ubiquitous, this is a great place to start.

The latest episode of Wallstrip is priceless.  Lindsey Campbell discusses the titilating products that Limited Brands sells.  There’s a special guest appearance by Howard Lindzon (Wallstrip’s creator) at the end that’s a great example of crossover media.

I’m enjoying being part of the angel syndicate here – I’m learning a lot and having a great laugh almost every day. Howard – you are hot.

Mine speaks English.  But – when Amy and I spent a month in Paris last spring, we noticed that all the dogs spoke French.  My friends at Dogster and Catster noticed this as well – their sites are now available in French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, and Korean.  Ouah Ouah.

Q1 will see lots of fun features in the NewsGator Online Service.  NewsGator Today was released last week – if you are an NGOS (NewsGator Online) user, click on the NewsGator Today folder at the top of your folder list.  NewsGator has a longer description of how this works on their post The Debut of NewsGator Today.

NewsGator and Motorola’s Good Technology Group (acquired by Motorola in Q406) announced a partnership that will extend NewsGator’s enterprise RSS technology (“behind the firewall RSS”) to mobile users on all the platforms that Good supports.  That’s a Good (and NewsGator) way to get your RSS wherever you want it and adds nicely to the NewsGator Mobile product set.

One of my favorite new investments (ok – all my new investments are “my favorites”) – Me.dium – has a pair of video interviews up on the Scoble Show.  If you are interested, start with the demo – then go watch the interview with Robert Reich and Kimbal Musk.  Look for the Me.dium widget on my sidebar soon (oops – did I say that?)

NewsGator Enterprise On-Demand just went Beta 2 and has 100 customer slots available.  Charlie Wood eloquently describes why he thinks it is important.  If you are a fan of acronyms and great software, you’ll understand why I think this product should be code named NGOD instead of NGEOD.  If you are interested in road testing NewsGator’s Enterprise RSS-reader in an On-Demand environment (which also works with all of NewsGator’s client side apps – FeedDemon, NetNewsWire, Go!, Inbox), go sign up for the beta.
