Top tech kept saying we need to stop using mass mailing list and start use RSS feeds. They are right but unfortunately RSS technology is slowly evolving around deaf community.
RSS have been around for almost 10 years but it did not get off fast till few years ago.
What is RSS? Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_(protocol)
We are proud to say that our Crazy Technologies LLC division 9 years old Deaf Network of Texas and Florida mailing list does support RSS/ATOM feeds for couple of years now. Anyone with RSS Reader (standalone-based or web-based) can take advantage of it and eliminate subscriptions via email address. It helps reduce spam – big time.
You can find Deaf Network of Texas RSS or ATOM feed link:
RSS: http://www.deafnetwork.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive_rss/dn/
ATOM: http://www.deafnetwork.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive_atom/dn/
It is very exciting however I am not going push you. I urgently you to give it a try!
It may be off slow at first time if you never try this way before. It is perfect okay. Over times, it will be paid off. Also, many services do support export/import which should be easy to try it out different service without starting over.
Just remember, RSS Reader doesn’t work if their website doesn’t support RSS/ATOM. Many website and blogsite like WashingtonPost.com or DallasNews.com do support it. You even can select which category (business, sports, etc.) to add on your RSS Reader list. Very cool.
If you are member of deaf-related YahooGroups.com, many of them RSS feeds support which can add to your RSS Reader list easily. Remember, it is okay to have as many as 100 or 200 — it is pretty normal.
How do you know if they support it? Look for RSS, ATOM or XML logo in orange. How do you get RSS Reader? There’s plenty freeware and free trial program out there.
