For those who are into such things, Locus Magazine now supports RSS feeds!
[Thanks to James at Big Dumb Object for the link]
And here's a list of RSS feeds that I occasionally troll (in XML format, for ease of importing into your favorite feed reader):

It may also interst people to know that just over half the traffic to this site is in the form of RSS readers. Myself, I use Bloglines.com as my aggregator and roughly 40 other people have SFSignal on their Bloglines list...

Yep I use Bloglines as well, I like how it is synced between my work PC and my Mac at home.
I was just thinking actually that I need to post a refresh of the feeds that I read. You've spurred me on John, I shall do it soon.

And as I've shared with some others, My Yahoo now allows you to put RSS feeds in along with its other news feeds - its easy and convenient (assuming you don't troll blogs like John / JP - I only have 2 in there so far
.)

Man, doing it on My Yahoo! is way more convenient than running another app! Thanks Scott!

Is there anyway to include the recent comments in the feed? I want to see people's comments in addition to the articles.
Posted by Peter on Friday December 10, 2004 at 10:06 AM
Nope! Not through MT as it is. Although you might be able to figure something out using Feedster or Feedburner...
