Search Engine Watch says that Google Base gets RSS’d

Hmm, I hadn’t noticed this either, but search-engine authority Barry Schwartz, over on the authoritative Search Engine Watch, points out RSS feed icons on Google Base. They are RSS 2.0 feeds, too. That little RSS thing? It’s going places! Or bases. All your RSS base belong to us. OK, I need some sleep. Enjoy the feeds!

  1. With Google Base adding RSS feeds, I’m surprised that RSS isn’t being used more in online retailing.

    The only substantial use of RSS so far has been for feed files for online shopping engines.

    Yeah, ebay allows one to create feeds for searches and Amazon has feeds for their categories, but really, how are they being used?

  3. Well for the iTunes Music Store, there are a bunch of RSS feeds: Top 10 Songs, Top 25 New Releases, etc. It’s kind of like what your local brick-and-mortar music store does when they put all the new CDs on a display in the front of the store…

    Even better, they have an RSS Feed Generator:

    So if you don’t care anything about popular music, but you DO care about the latest Easy Listening, German Folk Music, and Audiobook releases, you can create an RSS feed tailored just for you.

    My local brick-and-mortar music store almost never has German Folk Music on their New Releases display. 🙂

    Eventually it will end up like the personalized advertising in Minority Report. 🙂
