Here's a little toy you can play with that KnowNow messaging to build 
a 'pointcast' in a browser without a client download:

http://www.xmldatasource.com:8000/kn_apps/knownews/

You can publish items through here:
http://www.xmldatasource.com:8000/kn_apps/knownews/add.html

To view a particular topic, add the uri as a parameter:
http://www.xmldatasource.com:8000/kn_apps/knownews/?/topiczero.com/new

Go ahead and deconstruct the html & javascript. If you want to modify 
it or write your own let me know & I'll put up a location you can 
WebDAV to & make your client public.

Conditions of Use:
 - no guarantee that this will be up 24x7
 - no permissions yet, anybody can post anything
 - no pre-arranged topic heirarchy - go ahead and prepend your domain 
name (like '/scripting.com/news/blather')
 - don't spam the system. I won't be angry, just very, very 
disappointed.

This is hackware - 2 hours of html/javascript - so there are an 
infinite number of missing features.

have fun
