RSSCloud: This Will Be Huge For eBooks



Tease! Tease! Tease!

WordPress Just Made Millions of Blogs Real-Time With RSSCloud

RSS in the Clouds

Just two things right off the top of my head:

1) Being notified by a publisher when an eBook from an author you want to read has been put on sale (not everyone gets the months-in-advance Dan Brown hype treatment)

2) Being notified by your local library that an eBook you've been waiting to borrow has just been returned right now

Is Steve Haber and his upcoming 3G-enabled Sony Reader Daily Edition paying attention?

I'm pretty sure 2 exists with the concept of "holds" on library eBooks, but I haven't tested this out.

Not at the NYPL. They send you an email and hold it for 72 hours. Immediacy is better.
