  • feels like it's become just another channel for spam and self-promotion. is it just the arrival of the mainstream? like when aol hit usenet? 23 hrs ago
  • Twitter's shine is officially gone for me. maybe I'm just tired, or its the global economic collapse, bit I'm finding it hard to tweet. 23 hrs ago
  • Thinking of writing a song about conference rooms and how much alike they all are. Sort of like "homeward bound" by S&G but not as good 1 day ago
  • More updates...

RSS For the Enterprise, Free (as in beer)

Tagged with: — John @ 10:01 am

The folks at Attensa have released Attensa for Outlook 2.0 for free (as in no cost). Go here to download - you will have to provide an email address.
Requirements:

  • Windows 2000 (most recent service pack)
  • Outlook 2000 (most recent service pack)
  • 667 Mhz CPU
  • 20Mb free disk space
  • 256 Mb RAM
  • Windows Media Player 9 or above

I think getting RSS readers in the hands of enterprise users (many of whom are using Outlook on Windows) is going to be critical to mass adoption, so it’s good to see this move, even if it is only free in the cost sense, not in the open source sense.
