Roogle for RSS...sounds like a new jingle for a commerical. Maybe a car or hair product? But, it's a new search engine, apparently in BETA, that searches RSS feeds. Click on >>> Roogle to investigate.

Disney to focus more on Mickey, less on search engine technology. They shipped Go.com to Google, which will raise the back hairs of Overture's top execs, and are dumping Infoseek.

Reading from your monitor? Sure hope you can read this. I better read this article to make sure. Click on >>> Reading Text Online.

Quote: "In the November 2002 issue of the HFI newsletter, Bob Bailey discussed the research on optimal line length when reading text on a monitor. He concluded that users read faster if the line lengths are longer (up to 10 inches), but users tend to prefer lines that are moderately long (4 to 5 inches)."
