RossCode Weekly - An Introduction

posted on 2005-05-18 at 22:48:14 by Joel Ross

I'm happy to announce a new feature to the site. I know what you're thinking. A new feature? How about just a feature? Ok. I'm finally introducing a feature to the site!

So what is it? I'm calling it the RossCode Weekly, and I'm going to scour the web so you don't have to! That's right. I'll take the time to visit every single website out there, and tell you what you should know about.

Ok. Seriously though. I'm subscribed to over 600 feeds right now, and that grows daily. When Allie was born at the beginning of April, I didn't touch my computer for a week. It was on, but I didn't use it. I had 10,000 posts waiting for me. In those 10,000 posts, I run across a lot of information that I find to be handy, but not enough to create a whole post about it. Now, only a few hundred or so are truly useful to me. And of those, only a subset would be something I would want to share with others.

That smallest collection will be what I will use to generate content for the RossCode Weekly. As it's name implies, each week (probably Sunday), I'll put up one post with the week's top stories that come across my aggregator - what I think are the highlights.  Some of it will be stuff you've already seen - some may even be stuff I've posted. But some of it may be something you haven't seen in the past. Plus, it'll be your one stop shop for all that matters in tech! Ok, maybe not, but it'll still be good!

This feature will only be available here. I cross-post a lot of my content elsewhere, but this will only be available on this site. It'll be kind of along the lines of The Daily Grind, but more geared towards info rather than software. And it may change over time as I work out what format works for me, and feedback (not that I get any of that) from the readers.

Look for the first one this Sunday!
