Feeds made easy to understand – for everyone

Wolfgang — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 21:22:54 +0000

I love news feeds, podcasts, photocasts, all that fancy feed stuff, i really do :-) The only drawback on feeds is, you need to use a feedreader or a modern browser with the ability to display the RSS/Atom feed in a human readable manner.... Some weeks ago a really cool project i was involved in with podcasting was stopped in the last minute, because the people in charge were afraid that the users can't deal with the raw xml output in their browsers - and they were right, people don't want to see the XML code, the feed has to be readable.

yesterday i stumbled upon a cool extension for Firefox / Flock browsers to display microformats contained inside a page: tails firefox extension (Firefox 1.4+, Flock 0.7+) flocktails (Flock 0.5.14+, Flock 0.7) the plugin scans your currently viewed page in your browser and displays a small, green icon () in the bottom right of your browser if it has found any of the supported microformats inside the page.
