I checked out Channel 9 from the Microsoft Developer Network today and was intrigued. There is quite a bit of stuff in there - from weblogs and wikis to streaming video. Its already been updated and there is even more. I am glad to see that they removed the "we are going to get into trouble for this" motif that appeared earlier today.  The Channel9 team is making great strides towards corporate transparency and for this there should be applause.  5:41:45 PM    comment []

There's been lots of chatter about bloglines lately -- Chad Dickerson mentions it today -- so I was interested to hear from Martin Thornell about another web-based product, Rocket RSS reader. Doubtless there are others too. An implementation of one of these licensed for behind-the-firewall use, as Chad suggests, would be handy.
