RSS Once Removed

12 September 2003

A feature request for my aggregator – NewsGator - the RSS news aggregator for Outlook – I’d like to be easily able to see the RSS feeds of the sites to which I am subscribed. E.G. I have a subscription to the feed from MediaSavvy, I’d like to also see the feeds from the blogroll on MediaSavvy. I want my aggregator to auto-discover the list of feeds and go gather their most recent headlines on my demand.

Back in the day when I used to actually visit blogs, it was easy to discover new websites by occasionally walking thru their blogrolls. With aggregators, I lose that behaviour as I rarely go to visit the sites, and so my reading list gets stale and static.
