1.	In January I had a dinner in San Francisco with Martin Nisenholtz, the CEO of New York Times Digital, the company that produces the Times' website and other Web publications including Boston.Com.
2.	I proposed that we work with the Times to help bring their content into the weblog world and vice versa. I didn't expect him to go for it, I was surprised to find that he was thinking this way too.
3.	We shook hands and by mid-March we had our new XML-based technology working. A few weeks later New York Times headlines are flowing reliably to Radio UserLand desktops through its News Aggregator, and from there to the minds of the people who write the weblogs.
4.	Today, with pride, we are formally announcing this technology to Radio 8 users around the world.
