Feeds

I have a few feeds here:

• posts, with the most recent 10 posts
• full posts, as above, but including the full text of each posting
• comments anywhere on the site (experimental)
• list-added: most recent additions to The List
• links: articles by others I've tagged as being interesting
• tweets: my latest updates from Twitter (you can subscribe here, and if I were to switch to a different service, you will still get the updates)

Joint feeds of everything should follow later on.

What are feeds?

Feeds let you follow the changes on a Web site, without having to keep coming back just to see if anything has changed. They let you use the content published as a feed in a way that is convenient to you, automatically.

Crucially, publishing feeds has become very popular; lots of sites let you look at their content this way, and so there are plenty of readers for practically every platform.

I use Google Reader, but there are lots of alternatives. Play with an RSS reader, to get a feel for what you get.
