How bizarre... Technorati does NOT offer RSS feeds? Is that like C3P0 NOT offering Luke platitudes? Unthinkable?
Is it a strange form of irony? Perhaps I'm trapped in the Matrix [am certainly trapped in the 1970's, dress-code wise...I am a living advert for 'Denim' aftershave].

What makes a customer satisfied? Does it really matter if you are doing it for free, anyway?
A post by one of my favourite bloggers, Tom Vander Well, over at QAQNA has made me yet again affirm that the most critical piece of our organisation is NOT the code, is NOT the service we provide [though they are both essential attributes] but it IS our customers.
Lower prices isn't always what customers want.
Now, herein at FeedFire we have a generous policy. I like doing many things for free on the Internet, so I like to reciprocate and hope that we, one day maybe, become a part of the fabric of the Internet, much like Hotmail or AltaVista etc have become.
We offer FREE RSS feed making facilities, and paid ones.
The paid ones are inexpensive and within reach of most people [most, being comparative; I know there are many, many people who cannot afford such a luxury, so I am not ignorant to their plight, hence the free facilities].
My moot point is thus, and Tom's posting made me think [yet again] about the following: When offering something for free...does this mean we, the service provider, place no value on the 'product' we are offering OR that we can treat our free users with a lesser regard/respect than our paying customers?

Full text RSS feeds can be used for nefarious reasons by spammers?

Are you putting ALL of your content into the RSS feed, or just the title and description tags?
Perhaps you should think about what may happen to your content, if you decide to place everything into the feed?

Zookoda have today released the latest version of their service, after 8 months of beta-testing it.
It's a good way to further deploy RSS feeds, and shows continuing evidence that they can be utilised in methods which combine established mechanisms, with newer technologies.

Deploying and creating RSS feeds. Non-profit organisations have a great resource to hand.
Running a non-profit organisation ["Not for profit" as we know it in the UK] is challenging on all levels. Every single one, and there's plenty.
So how can such organisations use RSS and feeds, within the context of their daily operations, for the betterment of themselves AND their users?

Microsoft lands latest blow in the new battle for supremacy. Amazon A9 is ringside judge.
This is starting to look very interesting. The battle royale for supremacy on ALL technology fronts that these 2 monoliths are involved in, is getting hot and may end up getting dirty.
Brace yourselves and gather together a ringside seat as we prepare for the dying seconds of round 1.

The fan is about to experience noxious substances at Google and Microsoft as they prepare their leather gloves for a face slapping contest.
What is it with the last few days? Wednesday, Google bedded up with Firefox. Thursday, Microsoft announced a stiff rise in spending on IE7. Friday, FeedFire went live on new servers. Saturday and Sunday were 'quite' quiet, Monday [biggest day so far] was both Blogtipping day AND RSS appreciation day.
Whew! A tumultuous week for the superpowers of the computing world.

RSS appreciation day has gone by. Well, so far as the calendar is concerned.
We all know calendars are subjective things, apt to change by mighty emperors or religious figureheads, so let's not pay attention to the calendar...let's make RSS appreciation day, EVERY DAY.

Much like GroundHog day, I'm liking blogtipping so much...I'm thinking of doing it EVERY day.
I like enjoyment, and hate misery. Enjoying misery, is not a combo I'm aware of, as a concept...though I could point you in the direction of quite a few people who do practice this with verve.
Enjoying something so much that I have to do it again and again..and again and again...is something I often find occurring in my life.
That's why I love FeedFire...I never get tired of it, ever. I just sit there looking at it sometimes, in loving affection.
Blogtipping day, is now turning into GroundHog day...I'm loving it so much, that I'm NOT stopping.

Blogtipping - Much like Christmas, it should be here every day. Spread the news [and the love].
It's easy to keep abreast of what's happening in the World today, oftentimes there's too much information and that's why I LOVE RSS and feeds of any nomenclature.
It helps, as they say, sort the chaff out from the wheat. Not that I've done any REAL wheat filtering based work lately, but I have done [and continue to do] an incredible amount of reading each day.
