Time To Get Your RSS On

For all of you out there that aren't paying attention (who am I kidding, of course you are paying attention) we have made some minor tweaks to the layout of this blog.  Most importantly we are bumping the Syndication and Categories sections up in the left sidebar, so they will be above the fold.  The Recent Posts section is still available further down, but we wanted those other sections to be front and center. 

We've also beefed up the Syndication box to make subscribing to the Chatter blog as easy as possible.  With the help of FeedBurner you can now subscribe using a few of the more popular web-based RSS Readers with just a single click.  You can also click the "See Additional Options" link to find other web-based readers, as well as several of the most popular downloadable readers.  And for you Firefox users out there (and based on some of the stats from FeedBurner many of our subscribers are using this method) you can subscribe to any RSS enabled site that displays the RSS logo in the browser's address bar.  Just click on that logo in the address bar and Firefox will help you bookmark the feed. 

Why is this whole RSS thing so important?  Because we know with each passing day there is more and more competition for your time.  Whether it's the eBay Wiki, eBay Blogs, the General Announcements Board, a search of your favorite items, or keeping tabs on the items in one of your favorite eBay Stores,  RSS brings information directly to you. To learn all about RSS, you can check out this page on Wikipedia.

So stay tuned.  We will continue to look for ways to make this blog as useful as possible.  You can also shoot us an email with suggestions to chatterblog[at]ebay.com.
