Scoble has an interesting entry in his blog (weblog).

David Allen soon to blog
I'm talking with David Allen and Buzz Bruggeman. David tells me he's gonna start blogging soon.

David's techniques are helping me get more productive. I can't wait to get more tips from him on a regular basis.

Mr. Scoble is an Internet Evangelist at Microsoft. He made this entry yesterday on his blog at http://radio.weblogs.com/0001011/

Can't wait

I saw this too. I can't wait to see how David approaches the art and craft of blogging. It's a perfect medium for him, I think. :D

Blog via Email?

Being new to the world of Blogs I have a question:

Is it possible to receive a summary (or digest) of newly posted items on a daily basis? I know this works for some newsgroups but wasn't sure about the blogs.

Thanks!
jg

p.s. - Same question with this forum. Can "new message" be received via Email?

Subscribe to blogs

Oh yes! This is one of the real joys of blogs and RSS (Really SImple Syndication). You can check blog for a lot of recommendations on how to begin aggregating blogs into a subscription. A good place to start is Bloglines http://www.bloglines.com. It's a web-based, free service.

I use Bloglines on the web and NewsGator (http://www.newsgator.com ) in Outlook and subscribe to more than 150 feeds. It sounds like a lot but I'm able to stay more up-to-date and do less inefficient surfing to favorite sites just to check if there's any new content. Learning to use RSS is a life-changer.

I suspect it's only a matter of time before David Allen and Jason Womack discover the power of RSS aggregators and begin writing about them. :wink:

Re: The correct URL for David Allen's Blog is david.davidco.

What software is used to create David's blog? Is it the Lotus Notes blogging software I saw mentioned somewhere?

Re: Subscribe to blogs

mochant!
Thx for the good info!

I have been meaning to get into reading blogs properly for a while, and your post got me into it. I am using Bloglines now, have created an account, have the Bloglines bookmarklet link button, and have installed the Bloglines notifier. Its all working great.

I even subscribed to your blog. What i noticed is that there were 2 feeds, and it looks like th XML feed gives graphics, right?

A few questions...
Do you recommend using Bloglines, or do you recommend getting into Newsgator? I would prefer only ONE system, and i have a laptop, so perhaps ultimately newsgator might be more efficient?

Also, do you know of the BEST info area on the web about Blogs, and how to access them, software, etc? There must be a good website that gives all the necessary info.

I never got into the blogging thing, as frankly i associated it with people talking about their sex-life, or what they ate for breakfast!!!
But, it seems there are some thoughtful people making the effort to blog, so now i am in the loop.

I have about 87 questions, but i am sure a good Blog FAQ would answer them all.
Thx again for the info!

PS: Jason Womack has a Blog as well, which i also subscribed to. http://jason.davidco.com/
