It’s RSS Awareness Day

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!
