i don't want to turn this into "all-rss-autodiscovery-all-the-time" , but brent highlights the rss invisibility thing quiet nicely:
"Here's how things work for me now. When I'm at a site I want to subscribe to, I copy-and-paste its home page URL into NetNewsWire's subscription dialog. The app then searches for the RSS feed for that site. If it finds it, great. If it doesn't find it then I delete the failed subscription--even if the site actually does have a hidden-away RSS feed somewhere. I don't go looking for it manually: it's too much trouble. And thus I don't read that site.
But of course even the above scenario is too many steps: ideally, when I'm at a site I want to subscribe to, I should be able to choose a menu command to subscribe to that site. (Or maybe it's a bookmarklet, or a contextual menu command--some Subscribe to Site command that's always in the same easily-accessible place.)"
i've rambled on about this and similar things
before, in ways that are confusing enough to force innocent
bystanders to email me asking just what the bujeesus i'm talking
about [
morbus,
you know who you are ]. see, i not only want rss to be invisible,
but i want by "blogroll" to be invisible too. and i want them all
to be linked by my bookmarking behavior.
i see a site i like - i bookmark it. that bookmarking process
should form the foundation for rss subscription and blogroll
formation. and no, i don't have it all figured out, but someday i'm
going to move past just rambling on with incoherent, staccato
statements into crisp, coherent requirements.
“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”
the complete tales & poems of winnie the poohthis site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.
he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.
if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
