CT Biz Blogs

I’m finished with RSS (for now). Here are the posts I’ve written over the last week:

• RSS and you
• How to find and use an RSS reader
• Ways to find RSS feeds, part 1
• Ways to find RSS feeds, part 2: search engines
• Ways to find RSS feeds, part 3
• Links: Articles on RSS to read

That RSS series of posts was going to be an off-the-cuff few words, instigated by Steve Rubel’s post about how even the Kremlin now has RSS feeds. Once started, however, I found I couldn’t stop typing. Frankly, it startled me a little when I got some attention from the Greater Blogosphere.

Now that I’ve poured all this information out of my brain, my next plan is to put this into a more organized form, probably as a PDF for people to download. So I’d appreciate any feedback — what didn’t make sense, what you’d like to see clarified or expanded upon, what was omitted.

Again, it’s not going to be the be-all, one-stop-shopping place for all things RSS. That’s a target that’s that’s moving too fast. But I’m hoping that if I start with more basic information in the intro, it’ll prompt more people to check out RSS and recognize it for the great tool that it is.

And I also want to thank all the folks who found these posts (mostly through Micro Persuasion) and linked back to them. Some I found through the trackbacks, some by following links, some by my referrer stats, and some by — wait for it — RSS. Yes, I have an RSS feed from Technorati for mentions of CT Biz Blogs. That’s the first thing I did when I found out about Technorati. If you have a blog, you need to do that, too.

So thanks to:

• Micro Persuasion
• LexBlog
• Blog Smart Resources Blog
• The Language Artist
• The Agonist
• My Own Public World (who’s using the Sage RSS reader based on reading my post)
