I always find it fascinating how some people get an idea, develop it, implement it, and then turn it into a real success. Bloglines<\/a> is a good example. Today I came across an interesting post<\/a> that shows where from the Bloglines started<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I looked at a couple of RSS aggregators the other day. These are programs that you run on your machine that allow you to subscribe to various weblogs that support a protocol called RSS. These programs make it easy to keep up with your favorite blogs.<\/p>\n

What’s interesting is that people have been focusing on creating client side RSS aggregators. I think the world needs a very good server side aggregator. I’d use it.
