The group that publishes the RSS 2.0 specification, runs the RSS Validator and assists feed publishers and RSS developers.
RSS offers readers and writers a path away from unreliable, manipulative, and hostile platforms and intermediaries.
If you miss the orange RSS icon in the browser address bar that shows a site has an #RSS feed, Google Ireland brings it back with the RSS Subscription Extension.

Open RSS has a scoreboard rating 57 #RSS readers on the features they support and whether they are truly compatible with RSS feeds.

It's not good news for Inoreader, Raven Reader or Smart RSS.
@coldkennels We don't have a current #RSS directory but should explore bringing one back. OpenRSS has an interesting list that's too technical for new folks but has a lot of good information.
iambenzoFor those of you who want to know if a website has an RSS feed - I've found a little tool to help with that:
@coldkennels This is extremely cool and an idea more sites ought to implement (including us!). #RSS
TonyI've been working on the website for the WFSA - the World Freestyle Skateboarding Association - for the best part of a year.
It has become very apparent that next to no one knows what #RSS is these days (or realises that it still exists), and I think that needs to change - so this is now on the sidebar for every article on the site.
RSS is the most useful tool possible for getting away from the "siloification" of the internet. It needs to be more widely used!
@prettygood Thank you for calling attention to this!
That was surprisingly hard to fix. Some old code was still being used that didn't wrap <description> and other elements in CDATA blocks. And some places were saying the feed was UTF-8 and others ISO-8859-1.
Pretty Good (at crashing out)Hey @rssboard I love RSS but the irony in your own website's RSS feed not validating is deep.
