Java Front End for Syndic8.
"Friday is a Java front-end for viewing news aggregation sites and site syndication feeds on mobile devices, like phones and PDAs. Friday supports the Syndic8 news aggregation site. In the near future, it will support others, such as Meerkat and NewsIsFree." [via Content Syndication with XML and RSS]
This is pretty big news to my mind, because it's the next piece of the puzzle for shifting RSS news aggregators to make them portable. In the future, when we're bathed in always-on, wireless access to the internet, we'll use our customized aggregators to deliver the information that we've personally knighted to be aggregator-worthy.
Maybe you'll see a full-blown aggregator on your OQO, but maybe you view a subset of feeds that you've tagged as high priority and those appear on your phone because you need to see updated information as it comes in. Maybe it's your organization's intranet feed, your customers' feeds, your local newspaper's headlines, or just your daughter's blog. It's your aggregator, so you choose what's important. But portability (both mobility and interoperability) makes that happen. [The Shifted Librarian]
