Syndication Sensation
You're sitting there thinking to yourself: “Yeah, RSS is great and all – but why doesn't Courtney wear a thong in her Webcam? And would she really spank my IP? That, and how do I set up an RSS feed for my site – or for a site that doesn't have one available?” Looks like myRSS may be your answer. I ran a few general news URLs through it and the service came through with usable results. The problem? The primary site is as confusing as hell. Even with this description: “myRSS requires no programming experience, is completely automated and all channels are available for free,” other parts of the site left me reaching for the Tylenol. Methinks an editor needs to lend his/her services. Still, this doesn't cost us a thing to use – and it's a killer idea (long overdue). I applaud its creator, but would encourage him/her for more straightforward information organization at some point in the future. The “sponsorship” section should have clear-cut bulletpoints of benefits; the “creation” page should have a numbered list of simple directions; the front page should not be a blog of other products; et cetera. I could also do without the redirect page, but understand why it's there. I offer this unsolicited feedback not because I'm a mean person – but because I wanna see this thing grow.
