Frequently I will see an email come by the list about a topic I am interested in, only to have to repeatedly check the website to see if anyone has contributed to the thread. Perhaps there is a more elegant/simpler solution to this that is escaping me, but I thought a small app that displayed active discussions and allowed you to tag those you want to follow would be a time-saver.

I agree with Dave Malouf, also because I would prefer not to add another widget to my desktop. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] IxDA discussion widget idea
Hi Adam, There aren't any APIs to the discussion list. The RSS route is about the only way I could see to do this type of thing right now. That's what's powering the IxDA Twitter account. http://www.ixda.org/rss.php http://twitter.com/ixda Also, I should mention that you can switch your account to receive every post via e-mail, so you don't need to keep checking the website. Set it on your profile page. On that note, you could subscribe a completely new Gmail account just for the list and then hook it up to the existing Google Gmail widget. Instant feed into your dashboard for the 10 most recent posts. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Thanks, Jeff. I should have investigated the settings first but I think this would make a good springboard to giving RSS another shot. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
