I managed to sneak in a great two-week vacation this summer, but my blog posting frequency dropped off a bit. Not to fear, I'm back now and my blogging will once again be streaming forth across cyberspace <grin>.

TechCrunch, a group-edited blog about new Internet products and technologies, referenced a blog posting by the author of RSS Dave Winer on how social networking Web site Facebook has quietly started putting RSS into its pages. What's cool is that this is not your garden variety RSS, but full-out iRSS (individualized RSS). The new features let Facebook users track the status of their friends without having to log in first. If you really want to know whether Rachel is back from vacation or if Danny is having a good day, have no fear, RSS will make it easy to get this information anywhere, anytime.
