You never know how ideas can travel...2
This has been a classic subject of long discussions with friends of mine like EasyO and Panda... you get an idea, you talk a little bit about that, maybe jot down some of it...
...then the day after, you browse to SourceForge or FreshMeat (if it's a software project) or just to your news aggregator, and there it is... somebody else on the other side of the planet just had the same idea (and usually got a step ahead and did some code or some more documentation than you :P )
So today's but-I-had-that-idea-only-yesterday is... RSS support for email systems... and here's the timely news that appeared on my aggregator today:
“As I was thinking about Gmail today, wondering whether to log in and check to see if I had any email to my address there… I realized that RSS could be a very cool solution to that problem, one that plagues all the Web-based email systems. Here’s how I’d do it…”
and, just following a few comments from that:
...you never know how ideas can travel!!!! :)
Note: this could be also a way to find people on the same wave. Never used to do that... till now. Any idea?

Trovare un modo semplice, rapido e veloce di veicolare le informazioni senza perdere struttura.
Ad oggi poi dove le mail sono vettori di 'problemi' più che di informazione utile (penso che sul totale l'informazione utile si aggiri sul 2%, ma questa è una valutazione ad occhio sulla mia mailbox) una trasformazione in RSS possa essere un mezzo molto utile per veicolare il processo. E soprattutto, standard.
Well, ideas travel. And so do hyperlinks. :-)
