Fellow Fans of Propeller--

I would like to call your attention to a group of new RSS feeds recently made available on Propeller. RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, is a well established technology that allows for savvy web surfers to be kept up to date when changes occur on their favorite websites. A stream of updates as such is known as an RSS feed. Many popular websites employ RSS feeds to communicate updates to those that keep track of updates for many sites at a central location (such as an RSS reader).

An RSS feed is available for data on any page that shows this icon:

For those who are already enthusiasts of RSS, and for those who are interested in trying it out, here is a list of RSS feeds (and their locations) on Propeller:

The following member feeds are all specific to the member, and many are dependent on the member's privacy settings. For these, I am using JamesMarcus as the example account. The member feeds are:

We are excited to bring this additional flexibility to Propeller, and hope that you will enjoy the feeds. We will be releasing more RSS feeds soon, but if we missed the feed you were hoping for, please drop us a line and let us know: http://www.propeller.com/feedback/
