RSS feeds

Well, now that I've figured out what RSS feeds are, and why I should care--I think they're pretty cool! I especially appreciate e-mail about Page2RSS which allows me to create an RSS feed when the site does not offer one. I use it to get the comic strip 9 Chickweed Lane delivered to me every day! So much easier than having to go look for it myself! I have also used it to link to Kitsap's Department of Emergency Management "Tip of the Month".
Having fun!

More thoughts about tagging

In "The Several Habits of Wildly Successful del.icio.us" I read:

After tracking a few things for a while, you’ll start to wonder where a particular user gets all their interesting bookmarks. Maybe they’re connected, or maybe they’re just copying someone else who is connected. Either way, you can check out other users’ inboxes by just replacing their USERNAME in this url:http://del.icio.us/inbox/USERNAME. By exploring through a few layers of who is watching who, you’ll start to come up with your own list of people to stalk–just add them to your inbox!

Does anybody else think it's really creepy that your tags can be stalked this way?
