I've found that hi-tech people looking at new technology often overlook simple useful applications. In this case, being able to simply print-out your feeds in a pleasant and readable format. Check out an example here of what the Feedjournal applicatin can do: http://www.Newscloud.blogspot.com See the FeedJournal.com http://www.FeedJournal.com Regards, ~Joel John,

As you say simple "Email this" and "Add this to" links work wonders, as well as links from within the article or at the foot of a piece. You are unlikely to interact with a story if you only have a line or two to play with, especially with something like fav.or.it just around the corner: http://uk.techcrunch.com/2007/10/02/is-favorit-a-digg-killer/ As a caveat to all that, I still wonder how widely used RSS/feeds are by regular users??? All the best, Craig Hi John
