RSS Feeds... you guys might have created a monster here....

RSS Feeds are AWESOME.  I found a few World of Warcraft RSS feeds (Blizzard, Wowhead and Warcraft Pets), two of my favorite authors (Neil Gaiman and Ilona Andrews..  will look for more!) and a favorite band of mine Rush. I was hoping I could follow this really cute Dachshund on youtube and have the updates show here, but alas, I guess youtube doesn't do that.  I did link my personal youtube username with my google account here, so when we are done with the 23 things, I'll have to change my google contact email address to my personal one I guess.  I was hoping it would allow me to see more options such as an RSS feed but it did not and I became a fan of the page with my work email. 

I can totally see this being a new addiction of mine.  I follow most of the world of warcraft ones on Facebook, but you just randomly see the postings rather than easily being able to scan all of the updates that are posted.  When you just check websites randomly, you might miss something interesting.  This gives you a 'one stop shopping' kind of an experience where you can scan through the postings for each site you follow and see what sounds interesting to you.  You can also look and see immediately if there are any updates on the pages that you follow via RSS feeds from your Google reader.

And yes, I can totally see myself using this from now on.  See what you guys created?  ;)

  1. Huh, you definitely could find RSS feeds on individual user pages at one point on YouTube, but I'll admit I can't find them either.

    Is a video from the dachsund series I'd like to follow, but don't see where to follow. Tell me that this isn't the cutest thing you have ever seen. ;)
