Anyhow first come first serve,PM through the board.

I have six,might get more.Don't be shy.

The program is called RSSMate.RSSMate is a freeware rss/atom/podcast reader designed to be simple and straight forward.When i say simple,i mean RSSMate doesn't get into catagories and multiple layout schemes.When i say straight forward,i mean you punch in your feed link and it reads it.Done and done,no glitter but pure gold in my opinion.

Now,that being said and given my glorious opinion,this is where my opinion is coming from.I'm a user who doesn't use hundreds or thousands of feeds,i'm more into reading around twenty or thirty feeds,if that.If you are a user that reads somewhere in the range of fifty feeds and up,RSSMate might be too cumbersome for your needs.I believe it could handle it,but you might end up in "scrolling" hell.

Living Room / I got two Joost invitations,first come,first serve

Joost is like a tivo,video type thing.Think youtube on steroids.
I actually don't use it,cause i don't have a  high speed connection and
that's what you need to get the full grunt of it.

Anyhow my invites are about to expire,so... i have two.PM me through the board,with your name,first,last,doesn't need to  be your real name,you can change that later,but your email needs to be legit,i promise i won't spam.


Ok,i only had two and i sent them out.Now if you feel like fishing for one,here is a tip use google blog search
http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=wb&q=Joost+Invite&btnG=Search+Blogs

Joost has been supplying members with invites to give away and people are more than willing to pass them out.

Sorry if i didn't choose you,i only had two.But like i said it's almost a given if you use google's blog search,you
can even use an rss feed to be updated when ever the search term "Joost invite" is refreshed .
