is an interesting attempt at “crossing communication-mode
boundaries” as
jon udell so aptly put it
. jon also did a nice job of pointing out the primary flaws in the
current incarnation – namely the lack of any way to limit the
ability to spam a “topic”. i suppose one could quickly put
together a system that limits posts to subscribers of a particular
topic. and i guess it wouldn’t be too long before you found
yourself reinventing a mailling list manager.
looking through the
mailbucket technorati linkage
i discovered that
chris is
ruminating
connecting
mailbucket
with
era
, which monitors rss feeds and then emails you any changes. how
long before some wiseacre sets
era
to monitor and email a
mailbucket
topic on changes to that topic, thusly initiating an endless loop
of emailing madness.
not that i would do anything like that.
