A very interesting post popped up in my RSS reader today. I found it thanks to a post by Tamar Weinberg over at Lifehacker. That pointed me to the blog makeuseof.com, which I hadn’t been reading, but now have added to my reader. Over at makeuseof.com Aibek put up an entry entitled 14 “OTHER” Ways to Use RSS Feeds. Where “other” means something beyond reading them in your RSS reader.
This made for a great read. Many of the things listed there I knew about, but several of them were new. Like the RSS to SMS messages bridge called Pingie. I don’t think I’d want Engadget on my cell phone, but a vanity feed from Google or Technorati for Bscopes…. Hmmm…. You never get too old for instant gratification, do you?
I think Steve and I will have to drop them a note and ask them to take a look at how we view RSS feeds as visual Bscopes. I think that might qualify as an “interesting” thing to do with your RSS feed. What do you think? As always, I’m looking forward to your comments.
And now, back to writing some code…
