Comments on: RSS Awareness Day http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/rss-awareness-day.html Science Blog from Freelance Science Writer David Bradley Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:27:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: David Bradley http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/rss-awareness-day.html/comment-page-1#comment-418869 David Bradley Tue, 06 May 2008 08:30:35 +0000 http://www.sciencebase.com/science-blog/?p=1639#comment-418869 Your comment is pure spam Leif, it's got nothing to do with RSS awareness and mentions only that you have a website of your own. So, essentially, an advert for your site and nothing more. I've approved it just to highlight the kind of comments that are received in their thousands by websites around the world every day that are usually filtered out. Now, in return for my passing this one, I hope you've at least subscribed to the RSS feed, but more than that I'd be keen to hear your views on space as it pertains to any of the dozens of other posts on Sciencebase covering that topic. See you around... db Your comment is pure spam Leif, it’s got nothing to do with RSS awareness and mentions only that you have a website of your own.

This version came from another blogger (at Daily Blog Tips) who has s set up a site specifically to discuss <a href="http://rssday.org/" rel="nofollow">RSS</a> and raise awareness. Still not convinced about subscribing? Well, look at this way, once you've got a fulltext RSS feed in your reader, whether that's Bloglines, Google Reader, My Yahoo, Thunderbird, or whatever, you need never visit that site again for its news (unless you want to comment, share, vote in polls, grab other resources, leave feedback, check out earlier posts and other sections, of course) db Just for the record I came up with an RSS awareness day campaign in the autumn of 2007, called Click and Orange, but it didn’t really catch on.

It is written in Swedish, but I have visitors from all over the world (rymdturism is the Swedish word for space tourism). On the site you can read news in the field of space tourism, look at videos, read some about the space tourism history, about spaceports and so on. See you on the site -Leif Arndorff Hi
