Do you use an RSS feed?

If you do, mine’s right up there in the top right corner ;)

Actually, it surprised me that Sitepoint, a wonderful design resource, ran a poll yesterday to see whether RSS is “mainstream”. It also promoted the poll heavily on Twitter which Sitepoint says “headed to mainstream”.

Both Sitepoint actions facinated me. Sitepoint is a site for web designers and developers. I would think, for their audience, RSS would be mainstream.

Most of my sites have nothing to do with the Internet other than the fact they’re web pages. When offered, I’ve had few RSS takers to any of my blogs. Even the one with thousands of email subscribers has only a handful of RSS subscribers. I thought that told me RSS isn’t mainstream.

Anyway, so far the RSS poll is interesting. If you’ve got a min, pop over and vote so you can take a peek at the results.

Sitepoint’s promo of the poll on Twitter however is a whole ‘nuther ball a’ beezewax. Their current giveaway of a $30 pdf ebook on CSS to gain Twitter followers though I don’t see a “follow me on” link on their site yet makes me Wonder too :)

Interesting Sites, WordPress
