RSS Auto Discovery

Jeremy Writes:

"After spending most of the day on the problem of "how to find the RSS feed (if there is one) given a URL" I've come to the conclusion that it's a pain in the ass." (via Feedster Blog).

This used to be a huge problem for me (Radio doesn't support auto-discovery - at least I don't think it does) until I found RSS Explorer. Its a neat little toolbar thingy that automatically reads any RSS feed for a weblog (if there is any) and places it in the toolbar box. An even cooler feature is that, with 2 clicks, I can subscribe to that feed in Radio!! Not a perfect solution to Jeremy's issue, but certainly one that might ease his stress...

Hi Steven,

That's a great find. I'll have something soon to help with this problem too.

Thanks for giving me the idea!

Sadly, RSSExplorer doesn't yet work for people with antiquated (yet MSBlaster safe) MS operating systems.
