Syndication pimping

[yendi]

So, I'm currently using 8.639 out of my 10 syndication points. Which is a lot. So I figure I'd pimp the feeds that have fewer than 40 subscribers, in an effort to A) point out cool stuff, and B) lower the cost of the feeds. :-)

perversiontrack: Not nearly as naughty as it sounds. It's a feed from http://www.perversiontracker.com, which parodies http://versiontracker.com. Basically, it consists of snarky reviews of relatively useless Mac software.


a_fdotcom: http://www.action-figure.com/'s feed. This has headlines about all the latest action figure (including Kubrick and other imports) news. I'm surprised it's so infrequently read, considering how nifty some of the stuff they cover is.

forwardingosx -- A group feed (about six people run it, including Patrick Neilson Hayden), dealing with folks talking about nifty OSX features, and improvements over their previous OSs.

thegamereport -- Syndicates Thegamerport.com, a site devoted to board and tabletop gaming. Some very nice writing about traditional games in this blog.

insidemacgames -- For Mac game news, of course.

nielsenhayden -- It's Patrick Nielsen Hayden's blog, or at least the first line and links. I'd rather it provide a full article (as with wilwheaton2), but it's still nice as a reminder that there are new articles to read on the site.

toles_feed -- The wonderful political cartoons of Tom Toles. Why don't more folks subscribe to this one?

comicreviews -- Johanna Draper Carson's (comics columnist who can also be found on the Sequential Tart boards) updates.

wesun_puzzle The NPR Weekend Edition Sunday Puzzle. Only updates once a week. Won't hurt your friends page at all.

fanaticalapathy -- Speaking of NPR Feeds, this is Adam Felber's feed.

roger_ebert Tends to update only on Fridays, since it's capsule reviews from Roger Ebert. Actually, you only get the name of the movie, the link, and how many stars it got, but that's enough to remind me to check out his reviews.

I recommend the Dr. Fun comic. there was a hentai reference the other day.

And I'm grumpy with Patrick's RSS thing, cause he's got a feed for the whole post, so I wish someone would use that one instead of the headlines one he's got now. stupid person.

I tried setting up his "2.0" feed, but it also just gives the first sentence. Is he hiding this full-post feed?

[tanaise.livejournal.com]

hmm. He claims there's one there. I read all the comments and all that to his post. Hmm. You could always email him and ask, or look through the archives to find it (I really want it to work, cause my work IE won't read the font he has).

I think either not enough people know about Tom Toles, or not enough people know about the feed. I was planning on pimping that one out myself, having just found it a couple of days ago.

Now if only there were a Tom the Dancing Bug feed.

Indeed -- with the existing modrnwrld_comic feed, it would give me a Triumverate of Tom Toons to read on LJ.
