RSS - not best practice?
I’m curious as to why the web sites of two of the three principals of perhaps the world’s best-known usability consulting firm don’t offer RSS feeds for their content. useit.com and asktog.com use email as their notification method. Is RSS bad, in some way?
Personally I’d much rather find out about new content from gurus such as these guys when I check my Google Reader, which I do four or five times a day. Communicating about new content via RSS is a good enough system for many other experts who share their knowledge. Why not them?
I’m not saying remove the email option, I’m saying offer an RSS feed to complement it. But I’m sure they’ll never find this little blog, so I guess I’m stuck with it. :-p
