The Answer to RSS
Does RSS stand for Rocket Science Syndication? You'd think so. Not because it's so complicated, but because it's so often hard to use. Only about 1 in 10 blog readers seem to have figured it out!
Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that at least 1 in 4 bloggers doesn't even provide a feed at all.
That's why Blogarithm makes sure that you never have to worry about what blogs have a feed, whether it's RSS, Atom, what version, how to find it, etc, etc. In fact, the previous sentence is about as close to all of that we think you should have to go. Using Blogarithm, when you subscribe to a blog - or any website you choose, for that matter - you don't have to think about any of this. Just put in the URL and you're done. We'll figure out what that website provides and give you the best information possible.
Don't get me wrong - we love RSS, Atom, XML, etc. in all their many versions and all the various ways they're implemented. And we think you'll love what they can do for you, too. We just think you'd rather focus on tracking your content than sorting through a big bowl of technical alphabet soup.
