Google adds Personalization, but still no RSS ...?

Looks like Google still isn't providing an RSS or Atom feed for their News - very frustrating, but not surprising...

On a related note, Google has just released a new beta personalized service for their homepage - looks like they are heading towards more of a Yahoo approach which may frustrate a huge percentage of people that preferred their classic search interface...

My new RSS News reader - Feedreader

After spending some time looking around and trying out different RSS Newsreaders, I've finally found a good one that I think I'll spend some on (until MS unleashes their new version of IE 7.0 with RSS built into the browser)...

The reader is called Feedreader v2.9 and is available free.

On my mind...

Ok, this is my first posting so i figured I'd post what's on 'my mind' right now to keep track of the topics I want to dig deeper into in the next couple of weeks...

• AJAX - not just a good cleaner for removing nasty red wine stains...
• Enterprise Portal Visioning - we're moving towards an approach for defining a roadmap for enterprise portals that integrates the Zachman Framework, our Sharepoint Quickstart Approach and Lou Rosenfeld's Enterprise IA Framework... Stay posted for a model that integrates all three...
• News Aggregators - I need to find a good news aggregator for my PC to collect RSS feeds... I can't decide if I want a web based hosted service, integrate into Outlook or get a local client... Any thoughts?
• Podcasting -  can't decide if I actually want to adopt this new trend...
• iTunes Canada - constantly dissappoints with its weak selection
• Blog design - is this look and feel going to get irritating over the next couple weeks? Too much baby blue is not a good thing...
