I’d love to support Gopher
Wednesday, January 3rd, 2007Tom Morris speculates on the idea of Grazr supporting Gopher. I’m a huge fan of Gopher, but I thought Gopher servers were defunct. What’s interesting is that IE doesn’t support the Gopher protocol, yet Firefox does. Now that Tom has pointed to some functioning Gopher servers I’ll have to see if we can work towards supporting them. It looks like it is just a matter of doing conversion to OPML on the fly, which shouldn’t be that hard. One thing I liked about Gopher is that it had a search mechanism named Veronica, although I always preferred Betty myself. Boy, does this bring back memories.
