Impending IE7
Update: It looks like IE7 is coming sometime after Thursday.
Marshall Kirkpatrick’s critique of IE7 at TechCrunch is worth reading, too.
I’ve posted twice previously about how I think the new version of Internet Explorer (IE7) and Vista will help to popularize the use of feeds.
Well, it looks like IE7 could get pushed out as early as today, or maybe later this month.
Just to again clarify: I can’t imagine switching back to any version of Internet Explorer from my dear, beloved Firefox- but don’t underestimate the potential impact of having the browser that most people use natively support the use of feeds.

Interesting post. The key thing, seems to me, for medical librarians is whether Springer and Elsevier will get onto the RSS bandwagon and use it to publicize their incredibly rich offerings instead of refusing to recognize that there is such a thing as the Internet.
And once people get RSS the next roadblock will be so much to read, so little time. But won’t it be nice for librarians to be able to set up RSS feeds that patrons can tap into effortlessly. Just email them the RSS code and off they go!
