Hope to see you there. Please say “hi” if you can make it – I’d love to meet more of you all.
2007 has been an exciting year at ElementFusion. Our products are really starting to take off and our design work is getting lots of attention, too. Earlier this week the folks over at Freelance Switch reviewed our content management system, Light. Light is a CMS designed to be used by designers and agencies that want to give their customers a robust, easy to use CMS system but that might lack the technical resources. That makes it a prefect fit for Freelance Switch readers who tend to be independent designers. Check out the review. Oh, and check out Light!
Those of you who subscribe to my RSS feed (both of you) are about to notice a change. A few weeks ago I stopped splicing in my del.icio.us links and Flickr photo feeds so all you’ve been seeing is the woefully inactive blog feed. The reason? Jaiku. Jaiku is the best solution I’ve found to address my long-standing desire to offer a really comprehensive JasonFeedâ„¢.
At it’s core, Jaiku is a twitter-like app that allows for short IM-like blog posts. But the real beauty is it’s capability to read and splice most any RSS feed into your personal stream. And I might add, it does a marvelous job of auto-discovering these feeds. All you have to do is point Jaiku to a URL and it will find any associated feeds. Very slick. So the end result is a combined feed showing a large portion of my online activity. If you want to know what Jason is doing online (not sure why you would) you can see it all on Jaiku. The feed combines my Jaikus, tweets, blog posts, Last.fm tracks, mog tracks, upcoming events, Flickr photos, and my links from del.icio.us and digg. Its everything!
So tonight, I replaced my blog feed with the combined feed. This should show a lot more activity and really better represent me. If it gets to be too much, though you can still get the classic blog-only feed here.
