I’m not really able to keep up with blogdom like I used to. Which is why I love Feedster. Collected links of the recent discussion of iCalendar, RSS, and events.

David Galbraith speculates about how to patch event info into RSS 0.92 using structured URLs. I like structured URLs, but why not use an RSS format that supports namespaces?

Marc Canter draws a picture of a “next generation event aggregator” mediating between websites, and traditional event stores..

Blog as .ics file redux.

Nick has a cute event widget mockup

Surfmind is maintaining an RSS+event feed for the Red Light Cafe and musing about next steps and MozCal integration.

Libby proposes a dencentralized Upcoming based on ical, foaf and movable type.

NewsGoat is publishing the OK Mensa calendar with Moveable Type and Brad Choate style magic.

Also the W3C roadshow is available as an .ics file.

Jon is playing with prying information out of Outlook.

Element12 is wondering why there has been no effective implementation of an “add this to my diary”.

Well first, it took a very long time to return, I forgot the query was running (see previous post), but when I came back, the first result was about Magpie! So either Scott is doing some very impressive personalization (the ego boosting search engine), or Magpie is getting mindshare.

update: just noticed that entry on Magpie is from May 4th, 2003. No wonder its the top result when sorted by date. I knew I was falling behind, I’m still stuck in April. Must work to catch up.
