The Pogoplug, the tiny device connects any USB drive to the internet, is rolling out some new features this week.  These features streamline things allowing you to send out links to more than one person at a time.  You’ll be able to find files faster via the web or the iPhone.  Plus, you’ll have support for 64-bit versions of Windows and Linux. 

On Friday, there will be more features.  Pogoplug will allow sorting by file size, type, and name.  I think the most interesting feature that’s coming up is what they are doing with RSS feeds. 

“Any RSS client that supports Media RSS (based on the Yahoo implementation) can play videos and listen to music with the information provided by Pogoplug.  Since Boxee accesses media sources through Media RSS feeds, Boxee users can use their Pogoplug RSS to watch movies (or listen to music) directly from their home hard drive.” - Emily Joffrion

While the Pogoplug is built to be used by someone’s mother, the Pogoplug team seems to be putting in more and more features for geeks.  I’m all for it.  After all, it is just a mini computer.  Why not keep adding features?
