It’s RSS Awareness Day
1. May 2008 – 19:48 by
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!

Wasn’t aware of this RSS awareness day, is it really truth or just something originated by you?

Ha, ha. No, it’s not made up by me. It originated here.
