Internet goodness:

• Transpodder — when combined with a podcatching setup — will download your favorite shows via Bittorrent, transcode them to an iPod Video-friendly format, and provide an RSS feed so that iTunes can keep your iPod synched up. Slick.


• co.mments has an awful, awful web 2.0 (stoopd) name, but a good idea. Sign up, subscribe to a personalized RSS feed, and add a bookmarklet to your web browser. Then when you next find yourself leaving a comment somewhere, hit the bookmarklet button. The conversation will be marked and periodically checked by co.mments, which will let you know about new entries via RSS. Unfortunately, co.mments seems kind of slow about checking up on conversations — and using the personal RSS feed via Bloglines makes it really, REALLY slow. But if you use a desktop newsreader, you might find it useful.
