I posted a comment on a great shot a few moments ago. The shot was taken in Cape Town. As I was commenting on it a thought came to me. I will just paste my comment here, and ask what do you think.
Great shot, and thank you for the comment on my pic. It still makes me amazed to know, that pictures we post can be seen instantly and commented on by people so so far away from where they were taken. And we can see things that we would not be able to, except for (National Geographic) many many shots are also worthy to be in that mag. Hey, (a thought) what if there could be a magazine called (The RSS 365). With pictures and credits
given. What a massive operation that would be. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.Maybe I should put that on the discussion board
Funny thing, after I posted this I saw the discussion (365 Book) which actually be a personal thing which is great as well
I'm having a blonde/senior moment. What does RSS stand for?
I bought a RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) Guide to Digital Wildlife Photography book for someone for Christmas. Where the photos are amazing, we both agreed that there are photos on 365 that are just as good (and often actually a lot better).
@lluniau RSS means Really Simple Syndication; given that you're still none the wiser as to what it actually is, I'll expand on that :P
Go to your own profile page, or anyone's profile page, and check at the bottom of the right-hand sidebar - see the little orange icon with "Subscribe to RSS feed" next to it? That orange icon means there's an RSS feed there.
RSS is a standard way of sharing out just the information content of a particular webpage, without all the graphics and such, so that it can be read in a standard way by other software. For example, if you use Outlook for email, it can accept RSS feeds, and "subscribe" to them. So if you added, let's say my, RSS feed from here, your Outlook would be updated whenever I made a new photo here, and you'd be able to see them within Outlook. Google also provide Google Reader that does the same.
It's most useful for news aggregaters - all newspapers/websites that deal with news/blogs also provide an RSS feed, so you could add all the RSS feeds of all your favourite websites into Google Reader (it's probably better than whatever Outlook does in terms of RSS) and check that daily, and you'd see all the updates from all the feeds you added.
So!
What I think Richard's getting at is having an RSS feed for just the highlights of the 365project.org community's efforts. Currently we essentially do have this, however, as the weekly "Top 20 Chart" blog posts *do* have an RSS feed that could be subscribed to.
So maybe RSS could have some other meaning, or Richard hasn't noticed this.
@eyebrows I guess you will just have to exuse my ignorance, I was under the impression that the RSS had something to do with Ross and his name. As for as t the (top 20) is concerned that falls way short of the multitude of GREAT Photos that are on thios site. Myybe I should just (de-post) this topic.
@rrt nah leave it open! What did you have in mind? A larger feed with more editorial control over which images went into it than the automated Top 20 thing?
Tweets ahoy!

As if I've got more time to waste on this internet malarky!
I chuckled when I noticed you'd included the missing "o" in your answer (last line, 4th word)! :)
