I have been following John McCain’s daughters blog “The McCain Blogette” but find it very hard to keep up with it because there is no RSS Feed. It is very frustrating to keep up with blogs and news when there are no RSS feeds. It kills me that i have to create a folder on my toolbar in Firefox and have 100 sites in it because they don’t have a feed. It’s much easier just to open up Google Reader and start reading.

Justin has posted a post on “My Favorite Web Sites Are The Ones I Visit The Least” where he says

Recently, I had the realization that my favorite Web sites were the ones I visited the least. The first thing I do when I find a Web site that I want to visit again is look for an RSS feed. If I find one, chances are I won’t come to the Web site again for a while. If the Web site doesn’t have an RSS feed, I’ll forget about it and the site will miss out on some traffic.

I agree with Justin on this. I hardly ever go to a site that has an RSS feed. I just hope that developers start to realize that RSS feeds are a good thing and not a bad thing. I hear a lot of site owners saying we had “x” amount of hits today but when are we going to start saying we have “x” amount of subscribers to our feed?
