Don't try this at home. I bumped up my Google Reader subscriptions last night from around 350 to 7570 for a work project. Fortunately, the blogs are very low volume so the increase in blog consumption wouldn't be that significant....

I'm no prude, but the idea of speaking at a seminar about RSS only to have a post about Silicon Valley escort services pop up in my Google Reader doesn't turn me on. For that reason, I whipped together a...

As much as I HATE truncated RSS feeds, there are a few blogs with content that's SO exceptional that I'm almost willing to put up with truncation. For those of you who don't know what the heck that first sentence...

I've noticed a spike in hits to our RSS feed from a site called Cullect.com and decided to do some investigating. Here's a shot of the site's "Welcome" page: That raises a question for me: if the site is pulling...

FeedBurner stats across the web took a nose dive today. For example, this site dropped from around 2700 to 1665 subscribers overnight. Zoli Erdos did some digging and got to the bottom of it. For some reason, subscriber counts from...

Reggie Nicolay at Technology for Real Estate has an interesting post title about how Yahoo Pipes could be used to refine real estate search. The post itself does more to explain Yahoo Pipes than how it could be applied to...

While many bloggers, including Technology Evangelist, publish their RSS feed subscribers on their blog, not all do. So that made Sunday's news about Google publishing subscriber counts within their network particularly interesting. While this doesn't represent the total subscribers to...

I'm looking for some help understanding the benefits of both RSS and Atom from a blog publishing perspective. From what I can tell, there is little difference between the two syndication formats when it comes to syndicating text or text...

Should social networking sites make it easy to import updates from other social networking sites? Yes and no. On the Yes side, it makes it easy to consolidate one's social network updates from your blog, Facebook, Twitter, Pownce, etc. On...

Steve Rubel Twittered last night saying: Checking out blognation. Like it but wish I could subscribe to individual bloggers. http://us.blognation.com/ He raises a great point. It can be annoying on multi-author blogs to have to read everything when you're only...

I’m one of those really strange people who hates the status quo. If I become comfortable with a system or product then it’s time to change it up, stop using it or find an alternative. There are always ways to...

I don't know if Yahoo Pipes has gained much traction since launching, but I do know that I find the service useful. For those who aren't familiar with it, it's a relatively easy to use platform for creating RSS feed...

There were some great comments in Saturday's post regarding the preference Firefox together with a Google Reader has for Atom over RSS feeds. I'll highlight a few below with comments. MKR pointed out that I would be presented with an...

I was subscribing to a few new blogs this evening when I noticed something strange with the way FireFox together with Google handled the subscription options. Rather than giving me the option of subscribing to the RSS 2.0, RSS 0.92,...

This finally dawned on me while discussing RSS readers with a guy I met at a bar earlier this week: RSS is most valuable for infrequently updated RSS feeds. Why? Do you really need an RSS feed to send you...

Dear media sites: I am so tired of truncated RSS feeds. Why do you continue to work under the assumption that you're better off forcing people to click through to read blog posts or news stories rather than allowing them...
