You have arrived at the web home of Noah Brier. This is mostly an archive of over a decade of blogging and other writing. You can read more about me or get in touch. If you want more recent writing of mine, most of that is at my BrXnd marketing x AI newsletter and Why Is This Interesting?, a daily email for the intellectually omnivorous.

RSS Feed Links

I'm really getting fed up with hard to find RSS links. I went on the Hardblogger site (the new MSNBC group-blog with contributions by Ron Reagan and Joe Trippi, to name a few) and I couldn't find an RSS link. Sitting in the middle of the page was a way to email Hardblogger comments, but nowhere to be found was the RSS link. Shouldn't this be well placed? This is such a powerful tool for keeping in touch with users that burying it away is a crime. I know in my own experience that the first thing I do when I go to a site I like is look for the RSS feed. If I don't find it, more likely than not, I will not be back there anytime soon. All they had to do was place a little link a little more prominently and they would have had a daily reader. Their loss.
