OK, so I don’t have 101 uses for RSS YET…I’m working up to it, and I need your help.
Rich Ziade over at basement.org listed about a dozen uses for RSS, including:
- Tracking packages
- Following the comics
- Transferring contacts between computers
There are, I’m sure, dozens of ways to use RSS, outside of the normal news gathering, competitive intelligence.
Other RSS uses lists:
RSS Specifications – Uses for RSS
public virtual blog – Cool Uses of RSS
What’s your innovative use for RSS?
At the end of the month, I’ll compile a list of all the great ways to use RSS here. Let’s shoot for 101!
You can use RSS to do anything that email currently does, other than two-way personal communication (for now).
Any content delivered by email can come via RSS.
When you think about it that way, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

An accounting department at a global professional services organization uses RSS to push 90-day-past-due notices to responsible billing professionals. This has entirely supplanted the weekly distribution of voluminous reports (both printed and emailed) which needed to be sorted through to determine if there was actually anything actionable.
