I am currently reading Collapse by Jared Diamond, in case you were wondering.

Oh My...

Martin alerted me to the fact that Ben Hammersley blogged about Tapestry on November 11, and then told me that BoingBoing picked up on it this morning:
Now this is a fantastic idea: daily comic-strips syndicated as RSS feeds—who needs a separate “comics reader” when an RSS aggregator can suck in anything that can be represented as a syndicated feed?

That’s exactly why I made the feeds in the first place—I heard about iComic for Mac (no use to me on Windows XP), but that was at the same time I was getting into blogging and RSS feeds and so on. Why would you want a separate application which does essentially the same thing as an aggregator? The rest is, as they say, history (still in the making).

As of this morning, Bloglines is my top external referrer, with 8383 this month. It will be very interesting to see how (if?) things have changed when I wake up tomorrow morning…

Martin is pleased for me.

I think it’s pretty cool, too :-)
