Okay, y'all. I've taken what I've learned while using #RSS over the last 23+ years and made a 4,000 word, information-packed, free, ad-free article:
- What is RSS?
- Finding and Using Site-Based RSS Feeds
- Finding and Using Keyword-Based RSS Feeds
- RSS Feed Readers
- RSS Feed Tools
If you're looking for ways you can continue monitoring news and the web in a post-Twitter world, I think this will help.
Like this article? Please consider boosting it. Thank you.
Extremely helpful. 🙂
In case somebody with levers of control is paying attention to where their site traffic is coming from, may I suggest always leaving intact utm/etc. information identifying link traffic as having arrived via RSS?
For instance, ScienceDirect tags RSS urls with "?dgcid=rss_sd_all." When passing along It may be tempting to "clean up" a url by removing this, but presumably it's there to at least in part to gauge whether RSS is worth supporting.
