PlayOnline Front Page: Now With RSS Feeds!

[Xyle]

Considering there's absoultely nothing on the PlayOnline site as of late, SE finally implemented RSS feeds onto the Topics and Information sections.

Woo?

FINAL FANTASY XI Official Web Site: Information

So uhh yeah, how about some update news to go along with the RSS feeds eh?

[Mistress Stowastiq]

Very nice now I can monger news even more

[Nightfyre]

What news?

[Kriz]

That's neat. Using the feeds and a Feed->JS widget I found at Build a Feed You Can Cut 'n Paste I can put the latest info up on a website for others.

RSS has been around how long and they're just now using it? :/ what's worse is i'd assume that the new community site tools have been pulling the information from these feeds for months and it took SE all this time to get that button made.

Neat. I like FFXIAH's news feed better though.

PlayOnline News

It includes the banner images, making my reader page much more interesting.

What's the point of those? It's just the same thing as their website without the pictures.

Generally you have a program automatically check all your "subscribed" RSS feeds every once in a while, and then you get notified when sites that you're watching have an update. It's more convenient than going to every single site you're interested in and hitting refresh once a day, or once an hour, or whatever. Personally, I use the Firefox plugin Brief, but there are tons of options.

10 minutes in Perl, worthy news

[Spagnutty]

Oh my god finally. Websites that lack rss drive me insane. Sure we had the ffxiah feed but still...

Now if only they had some actual news to push.

I've been using Google Reader, myself. All hail the empire!

^I have a feed and it tells me what is up from all the sites in one place so I don't need to go to different sites.
