Calling All Egomaniacs - You'll Want To Grab Your Own Ego RSS Feed From Feedster

Permenant Link To: Calling All Egomaniacs - You'll Want To Grab Your Own Ego RSS Feed From Feedster


Are your ears constantly ringing, indicating that, somewhere, someone is talking about you behind your back?

Are you sure that in places you least suspect it, from those you least suspect, people are talking about you?

Are you a rampantly paranoid, perhaps?

Or are you just a rampant egomaniac, curious about the absolutely excellent things people are saying about you, especially in what is becoming an ever-growing socially-centric Internet?

If either is the case, and you're an RSS user, Feedster - the RSS search engine has a free service tailored to meet your ego-lovin', or paranoid-lovin', ways (whichever the case may be).

They call it an Ego Feed, I call it a sedative!

Here's how it works:

You provide your first name, last name, and a domain, blog, or feed URL, and Feedster will do 2 things:

  • Generate a custom RSS feed you can add to your newsreader
  • Automatically update that feed any time your name is mentioned in the domain, blog, or feed you specified

It an egomaniac's dream!!!

You've got to love a company that has such light-hearted attitude, that they're willing to devote some of their time and resources to develop something so impractical, but so much fun.

Head over to Feedster and grab your own feed. Don't waste any time - people may be already talking about you! 

And yes, I DO have my own ego feed, just in case you're wondering.

What's that? Are you talking about me?

Foul and offensive language is not only moronic and childish, but any posts containing it WILL be deleted!
