Atomic Power – can you feel my power?

// June 22nd, 2004 // Tech

My Non-RSS blog roll is shrinking. Maybe this is due to the simple fact that I spend more time than I should nagging people both here and in the comments of there own blogs. Maybe it has more to do with blogger’s recent revamp whereby they offer Atom feeds as standard. Either way, having nagged Markiss and Jeremy into syndicating their sites I suppose I have to pick a new target. Let’s review the list shall we?

Aiee! Run From Kelvin’s Brainsplurge!

Does Kelvin’s excellent site need an Atom feed? Yes It most definitely does. Why? Because I’m lazy and having to click that damn link to see if he’s added anything new is really starting to wear me out!

Cheddar X

Everyone’s favourite Cheesy MeMe. New content on a weekly basis and a mad scramble to be the first with this week’s cheese. An Atom Candidate? Absolutely!

Dummies 4 Destruction

Personal Site for a guy in the UK. I read on a regular basis but not often enough to warrant a feed I’m afraid. This one can stay where it is.

Fuck Everything

Not everyone’s cup of tea but good for the odd snippet. Needs a feed? Nah…

Gravity Zero

If anybody hasn’t been to Charles’ site yet I recommend you do. the most regular poster his content is normally though provoking. And of course there is the diary which currently notifies readers via email when it’s updated. Save yourself some hassle Charles …

Junkopia

I’ll step lightly over this one.

MadPony

Closed – no point.

Mike the Marine

Yes yes yes. Why this guy* is still living in the land of the Bloggered I do not know but at the very least he could make things a little easier for us civvys to keep up with the latest intel.

and watch the hits roll in**.

So there we go, plenty of new targets for me to pester until the whole world is syndicated and I don’t ever have to load my browser again … Mwuahahahahahaha!

(On a serious note, if anybody would like help implementing an Atom feed or doesn’t quite understand how it benefits blog owners, blog readers and indeed the entire internet please drop me a comment.)

*I know Mike off doing something very exciting and top secret at the moment so I won’t be putting much pressure on him – besides he could kill me by looking at me so best be nice!

** It should be mandatory for anybody over the level of Adorable Little Rodent to have at least a basic feed.
