Alternate delivery mechanisms for RSS

[Julian Bond <julian@netmarketseurope.com>]

There was some talk about delivering RSS via NNTP. 

I get one of the Moreover channels as a daily email. This has a nice
side effect that I don't miss any headlines in this particular category,
because I can easily keep a local archive of a week or so. On Friday
mornings I go through the previous week and pick out the most
interesting 15 or so, which I then re-publish[1]. This is almost
impossible with a web interface as if you miss a day, the headlines are
gone. 

Over the last few weeks we've discovered Yahoogroups, Nasdaq, I wonder
what's next. Usenet? How about a meta-meta-news channel. An RSS channel
of new RSS channels. Call it RSS-Announce or something. In fact we could
bootstrap this easily with RSS-Announce@Yahoogroups.com Make it an
"Anyone can post" mailing list and start spreading the word that any new
RSS channel should be announced with the <channel> section in the body
and <channel>.<title> as the subject. Yes?
