Re: Still Need Some Testing / Any RSS Readers?

I have tested the RSS feed and it works fine on a technical basis.
There is a problem, though, when you feed on a reader the content of a forum such as this one: it is difficult to follow what's going on. If you look at the readed it seems a scrambled version of the forum, because you receive a feed for every contribution, and they are not grouped by the topic of discussion, but listed as soon as they arrive.

It is good anyway as an eye-catcher to grab your attention on some issues especially when you're on the move or short of time.

I like the way twitter has been used so far, though for this you need an active contribution from the forum master on a regular basis.

Ciao,
