How do you find RSS feeds that you're interested in?
I'd like to take my RSS feeds from an aggregator of news to a curated selection of interesting things. Interesting newsletters and blogs are where I think RSS shines, but I struggle to find this content.
What do you do to find these kinds of RSS feeds?
I generally go to a website and if I like the content, I look for an RSS icon. If I can't find one, I'll browse to either [domain]/rss, [domain]/rss.xml, [domain]/feed or [domain]/feed.xml, because most websites that support RSS will have an XML file at that location. This has worked for every site I've tried it on so far, except for Genius' website.
This is how I manage it:
- Usually I add feeds of blogs I find out from other aggregators (people posting links, HackerNews, Lobsters, Kotke.org, etc).
- This website categorizes blogs, I found some really good gems there, so I follow their feed.
- My RSS reader of choice (Inoreader) can show trending topics from feeds I am not following.
Check out some of these directories:
I didn't even know that such directories existed. That's awesome!
