# Better times ahead?

By Roy Osherove October 13, 2003 In [Blogging](https://osherove.com/blog/category/blogging)

**Historical article** · Originally published October 13, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

One of the first feeds that I generated using Feedable, was [Ali's Blog(Tech Guru).](http://www.aliparvaresh.com/blog) . He's a math student in Tehran. We never really got to talk until I made that RSS feed for him yet Somehow we got to chatting on MSN.

Ali is Iranian, I'm an Israeli. Our countries are enemies. We don't necessarily agree with everything the other one believes in. Yet we talked. I won't repeat the chat because I didn't tell him I'd post about it. But the fact is we **talked** even through our political issues with each other. Yet another way technology brings us closer together.
