RSS Feeds

It was just a little while ago that my buddy DJ advised me to look into the value of RSS. I had heard a lot about it... but hadn't ever taken the time to really look into it and it's functionalities. Now that I have... I thought I'd share a little bit to all those who aren't using it yet.








Particularly useful is the RSS feed for keeping up with the massive amount of blogs there are out there these days. Everybody has one... but who has time to always go back and look to see if there have been any updates to your best friend's or colleague's blog. That is where the beauty of RSS comes in... it will check for you and then let you know when someone has made an update! How awesome is that!!


Now up until recently... Apple's Safari users have had a distinct advantage over Window's IE users. Safari does a wonderful job of handling RSS feeds and letting you know in the bookmark bar that there has been an update. Now there is a new release out of Internet Explorer 7 that will bring Windows users up to speed. Granted I think this isn't a released version of IE, but it's good enough to be available on their site. It's still not quite as useful as the bookmark bar version in Safari... but it is definitely a step in the right direction.

If you haven't already... jump on the RSS train and get to bloggin'!! :o)
