RSS feeds for magazines and journals
I've been cleaning up the journals and magazines lying all over my office floor. Today's vicitims are IEEE Computer, IEEE Software, and Communications of the ACM. Computer is proving to be the most worthless (to me) publication of them all, with the lowest number of issues retained to read or keep for reference.
All of the paper is really annoying, especially since I only want an article or column out of a particular issue.
This is a perfect microcontent application waiting to happen. I subscribe to the IEEE and ACM Digital Libraries. What I need is for them to give subscribers an RSS feed for each journal / proceedings in the library, so that I can subscribe to the ones that I care about. Then I could file each RSS item away somewhere so that I could find it again, and I could access the digital library version when I actually needed to read it. The feed could include abstracts or some summary of the content for each item. This is assuming that you have a next generation microcontent client, of course.
If this happened, I could stop having all this paper dropped into my lap. The only drawback is that I wouldn't be able to just thumb through, and the value of advertising space in the publications would be diminished.
