Subject: Burster/undigester service ending soon
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 12:48:09 +0200

Due to a coming system upgrade, the Institute for Social Informatics  
will be terminating the burster/undigester service for CryoNet  
digests. This will occur before the end of the year, but not within  
the next 30 days.

The following factors were considered:

:spam problems
:decline in quality of posts to CryoNet
:the availability of alternative methods of selecting posts (RSS, etc.)
:the superior social organization and reliability of the blogging/RSS  
infrastructure for publication


Some tools for RSS reading, etc. are given here. (These are mostly  
for OSX, but some of the comments indicate Windows programs and some  
of the listed tools are also available for Windows/Linux.):
