Syndicated feeds (RSS and Atom) make it much easier to follow your favorite sites and your friends’ activities; I’m also finding they provide some other amusing moments:
- I’ve been using FeedHub to suggest select entries from the many feeds I subscribe to; it uses a trainable recommendation engine to give you a feed of recommendations. The list of feeds it works off included a few of my own I added for testing purposes, so it’s alway fun to see one of my own posts get recommended back to me!
- On the more social side, I’m a heavy del.icio.us user and enjoy seeing what people in my network have been bookmarking & occasionally tagging bookmarks for them. It’s always rewarding to see them pick up things I’ve bookmarked, whether it was one for them or just one for myself.
