RSS is trendy, right?

Sure, in 2006. (But it’s still better than any other option.)

@Dataless I've honestly never used it, but always wanted to. This was mostly for the fun of learning the xml standard, but it's also nice to have another channel. And I like the simplicity of messaging.

I find it's great for following news sites and webcomics. It's basically a subscribe button to the world wide web. The posts come to me, not the other way around.
