Running out of RSS to subscribe to? Amazon has the answer

Added on by Chris Saad.
Amazon has broadened it's support for RSS. Even more stuff to subscribe to via Particls :)

I think it's time for a SubscriptionPlugin.

Thanks Amazon!

Update:
Paul saw my post and made an Amazon SubscriptionPlugin in a few seconds. Download it, unzip it and put it in your "[Particls installation folder]\SubscriptionPlugins" directory!

We will have to make the installation process easier for these - perhaps register a file type for the browser to recognize and route.

Scouta - Word-of-mouth media recommendations Web 2.0 style

Added on by Chris Saad.
Ever wondered what it would be like if you could get Amazon style recommendations about all forms of media across the net (yes even podcasts)?

Richard Giles a fellow Australian Web 2.0 junkie has created just such a thing. It's called Scouta and it just went live today.

From the home page:

There's nothing more powerful than a word-of-mouth recommendation. That's why Scouta uses recommendations from you and like-minded people to help find a needle in a haystack or a video in YouTube.

Find out more in our about page.
Get on and feed your media addiction (and then join me in the 12 step program).

Well done Richard!
