It’s RSS Awareness Day
May 1, 2008 in Blog by Carsten Pötter | Comments
May 1st is not just a bank holiday celebrating workers’ rights. Some people thought it was a good idea to raise awareness of RSS as well. So today is also RSS Awareness Day. I don’t claim it is as important as fighting for workers’ rights. But what did I do without RSS? How could I manage my online life without it?
So just for fun I created a pipe on Yahoo! Pipes. I just spliced some feeds together to create a single feed for all my published items. It includes:
- blog feed
- comment feed
- shared items from FeedDemon
- my bookmarks on Ma.gnolia
- my tweets on Twitter
And just to get a pretty URL I burned a feed at FeedBurner. Very simple, nothing special at all. If you feel really adventurous you can subscribe to it but I don’t promise to keep it alive.
Happy RSS Awareness Day!

October 29, 2009 in General
This blog post is a little bit different from the not so relevant open web centric stuff you usually find here. However I think it’s a good story about great customer service. So why not share it with you, although I play the stupid part in this story?
On Sunday I checked my credit card bill [...] -
Microformateers: Quick Microformats Support
October 25, 2009 in Microformats
Microformats are really cool. Small snippets of code that semantically describe various information included in any published text on the web. It’s not visible information for end-users but rather metadata that can be crawled and parsed by search engines or extracted by other means, like browser add-ons.
While microformats are rather simple – even I understand [...] -
Ma.gnolia Is Back
September 26, 2009 in Open Web
Some of the best things in life happen when you least expect them. Suddenly they are right here and you’re happy. That is especially true to things you loved dearly in the past but disappeared months before without warning. Like Ma.gnolia, the small but beautiful and elegant bookmarking service. Needless to say, the tweet by [...]
