Soldier Uses RSS to Correspond with Reporter
Here's another interesting use of RSS. A solider in Iraq is using a blog to write home, allowing all his friends to subscribe to his entries via RSS because military mail is notoriously slow. One of the folks who reads his feed regularly - a reporter friend.
(UPDATE: This story is no longer online for some reason. But it was there.)








Thanks for posting that Steve. I'm going to throw that up on http://www.Blogs4Troops.com as well.

Friend Steve Smith's ArmyAdvice.com also provides blogs to army troops...
Incidentally, the link to insidebayarea is broken.

Thanks for the heads up James. The Blogs4Troops campaign is just that, more of a campaign, awareness, and appreciation thing. I'll link up to ArmyAdvice.com for sure.
