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?

What on Earth is "Now go we in content"
I struggled with this one.
Would you, dear reader, think it was "Now we go incontinent"?

OK...this new fangled thing called 'Blogging' *MAY* have something about it.
Well, I was-perhaps still am-totally reticent to jump on the bandwagon and start 'blogging'. I really thought that there was no need for it....who would want to read the incoherent and inarticulate ramblings of a 41 year old male from the UK whose physical and mental stature is very much akin to Doc Brown* from 'Back to the future'?
* The 'Doc' had slightly less mad stary eyes than I have.
