Yet another use of RSS

I recently missed my opportunity to buy tickets to a show that I really would have wanted to attend had I known it was coming to the D.  Too bad they sold out before I found out they were available.  More often what happens is I hear about a show through the grapevine too late to get decent seats and I end up in the nosebleed seats stage far, far right or up in the balcony.  Sure I save money, and if i really want to stay on top of the music scene, I could actually take time to ready the weekly emails I get from Ticketmaster, but usually these just end up with the rest of my spam in the trash.  I think a much more effective way of keeping up to date would be through an RSS feed, so I checked to see if Ticketmaster had an RSS feed.  As far as I can tell, they don't but I did find an RSS feed here at tickets4u.com.  You can pick a feed based on city, MLB team, or NFL team.  Pretty cool... I wonder when Ticketmaster will get on the ball.

check out what i've been using RSS for!
hipster.trileet.com

using RSS feed data with a beta program for the Tmobile Sidekick 2 to parse and retreive data for later viewing on the sidekick (ie like avantgo but better, no subscriptions and one can make his/her own custom module).

So far i've created:
UPS and Fedex Tracking
NBA scores
USATODAY, MSNBC, Yahoo Top news headlines
Wired Top stories
Quotes of the Day
seamonkeyRSS (an RSS reader module, lets the user enter in one custom tag to read along with title, pubDate and description tags
and tons more in the works!

nice blog..
