Steve Main:

To solve this problem, Iím proposing SubscriberTrack: a simple, XMLRPC-based mechanism to let bloggers know whoís subscribing to their blog.

This sounds very cool, and would be especially helpful for me in understanding the popularity of the various Tapestry feeds.

I would suggest having three tiers of information: with personal info (doesn’t have to be an email address, could just be a date of birth for COPPA and general demographic information); anonymous (the blog still gets pinged on subscribe and unsubscribe); and never (umm, no notification ever).

What Say You?

hello

This is the website of one David Thomson (aka dwlt) from Edinburgh, Scotland. It contains the results of my patented thinking-out-loud process.

According to the about page, I'm a miscellaneist — at any given moment I'm a game designer, entrepreneur, programmer, consultant, and/or writer. I also read a lot.

If my ideas are intriguing to you, why not subscribe?
