This is a tool I think Google and/or FeedBurner would be smart to pick up as soon as possible. FeedCompare.com allows you to compare any two feed subscriptions to see how you stack up against the competition.
Above you can see the results of the Mitchelaneous RSS subscription feed numbers in comparison with my podcast, the Web Hosting Show. You can also drag over a specific time frame to zoom in on the results. Now lets see what happens when you compare the Web Hosting Show with The WHIR’s main daily news feed:
The Web Hosting Show is hanging in there - was actually surprised how close we were. Is this the part where I am suppose to beg you to go subscribe to the Web Hosting Show’s RSS feed so we can beat them? Ok, well you can - but it is all in good fun. As you can see, FeedCompare.com can be a lot of fun.

Continuing the trend of plugging those who either deserve to be plugged or don’t get the plugs they deserve from the public, here are a few more feeds directly from my feed reader to you. All of these selections totally deserve a look if you have not done so before.
David Airey - A great graphic designer and not that bad of a blogger I must say. His recent issues with his domain name are worth reading alone to find out how you yourself might be in harm’s reach.
Worthy Example Post: Collective effort restores David Airey.com
Download Squad - This is a page/feed and resource that I would suggest anybody check out and subscribe to. Sure it has already gotten tons of appreciation and praise, but you know - there is a reason for that. It is a top notch web site.
Worthy Example Post: Hoosgot - The return of LazyWeb (in spirit)
Drop the Mike - A web site just added to my feed reader, Mike’s blog is shaping up to be something awesome and a resource any hoster, domainer, or just about anybody else can get something from.
Worthy Example Post: Pass The Mike: Cotton Rohrscheib
Dueling Analogs - I already told you about one of my favorite online comics, bLaugh. Dueling Analogs would be my second (with both being equal in quality, of course). This one is for anybody who is a fan of video games and short - yet hilarious takes on them.
Worthy Example Post: No Funkin’ Way!
Firefox Extension Guru’s Blog - Another great Mozilla and Firefox resource, if you like that sort of thing. When looking for web sites like my own FirefoxFacts.com - the gurus work stuck out like a sore thumb that just reeked of awesomeness.
Worthy Example Post: Blog Year in Review: November 2007
Freelance Switch - I’ve been a freelance worker for almost 6 years now so I can appreciate a resource the helps make any freelancer’s job easier.
Worthy Example Post: Should You Sell Hosting?
Correction: In my last article, I forgot an entry for “C”. CyberNet News definitely belongs one my favorite feeds list. An alternative to some of the bigger blogging network out there, it definitely delivers a lot of content in a small package. Two thumbs up from me and once again, sorry about missing it on the last list.

Now I know not everybody understand RSS feeds and all this geeky update stuff - but have no fear! I have collected a whole list of subscription links you can use to keep up to date on what I am doing here on the ol’ blog.
+ Mitchelaneous Subscription Links
Need more? have another resource listed there that might not be right now? Let me know! I’ll be happy to add more of those cool little badges as long as I don’t have to put them on every single Web page.
I’ll work with you if you work with me!
