It should not be of great surprise to anyone that Microsoft’s plan for SharePoint is to provide the foundation for access to all information in the enterprise. With SharePoint’s tightly coupled integration with the Office product, SharePoint’s popularity in collaboration and openness for developers and integrators, SharePoint is positioned to touch every single byte in your corporate network.
I could not get the admin to enable Anonymous Read Access, as believed to be the problem with not being able to access authenticated feeds. I discovered a work around, using SharePoint Designer.

SharePoint’s wiki features are a bit like Rodney Dangerfield – they “don’t get no respect”. Yet, while on their own they may not be best-of-breed in the wiki world, they are still quite useful.

The RSS web part, unfortunately, allows us to present information on our site in a passive manner. Instead, the way to view RSS, and other information presented on your site, is to focus on providing ‘quality, not quantity’.
I had to clear out my RSS feedreader because there was just too much stuff coming in each day. I cut back to the bare bones so I’d have less than a couple hundred items to sift through each day. As I was doing that, I started thinking about how proud I am when people send me an email saying EndUserSharePoint.com is on their “daily read” list.
