Google News is reporting 243 news articles about Microsoft's RSS announcements on Friday, including the Associated Press, BBC, Reuters, and many newspapers around the world (a coworker reports reading about the announcements in an Indian newspaper over the weekend).

I told Chris "imagine each person at Gnomedex has 1,000 readers, that's 400,000 people you're talking to." I think I way underestimated. Even among the bloggers in the crowd many regularly get more than 50,000 each and some in the crowd, like the two reporters from the BBC, regularly get millions of viewers alone. John Furrier, the Silicon Valley podcasting guy, was getting more than that for each of his shows after just publishing for three weeks and that was BEFORE I linked to him.

Now I know why Adam Curry seemed a little nervous during his keynote.

Dare Obasanjo follows up the weekend's news with a practical perspective of what Microsoft's RSS extension means to end users and aggregator developers.

And, yes, that really was my red couch on stage. It's back home safe now.
