Interesting...

Every so often there's a "where are all the Java apps" thread on the comp.lang.java.advocacy newsgroup - for instance, here's the latest thread. Well, that got me to thinking - RSS/Atom/Syndication has gotten to be a fairly active application area - there are many, many readers out there - here's one list of the most popular ones. What I've noticed is that there are a bunch of .NET based aggregators, a bunch of aggregators specifically for Windows and/or Mac - but none of the commonly used aggregators are Java based. Now, I know that there are lots of Java developers out there - and yet somehow, no one has created a widely used aggregator in Java. That's fascinating. Oh, yeah - there is a widely used Smalltalk based aggregator :)
