Looking through the Mac360 server logs I noticed that only around one in four readers uses RSS. What’s the reason for the low numbers?
If you view a dozen web pages a day, then RSS is just what the news doctor ordered. RSS brings the news to you.
What is RSS? Formally, Really Simple Syndication. It’s a family of XML file formats which allows you to subscribe to news headlines and summaries, and have them show up on your computer.
Simply subscribe using Safari or a good RSS reader, and the headlines are retrieved.... (excerpted).
You may post your own comment on this article. Or, post in the Mac360 Forums. Either way, it's mostly anonymous, there's no obligation, and no cost. Posting comments is free, fun, low in calories, low in carbs, non-fat, mildly addictive, and may give you mild euphoria (due to the false sense of literary prowess).
Your comment may be anonymous, if you prefer. Or, use a cute name-- something everyone can remember. An email address is required only if you want to be notified of new comments by other posters, and is always shielded from email spam harvesters (but don't use a Gmail or Yahoo! or Hotmail or any free email service address-- too much spam).
Keep your comment on topic, relevant, worthy, and funny. Or, pick any three. We moderate the comments before posting so SPAM links will be deleted (Spammers-- you're a blight on society, not to mention your body odor, so don't waste your time or our time).
