Idea Day57: RSS Feeds For Previous Posts
As title, there are tons of high quality blogs with endless informative posts, but due to limitation of RSS mechanism, I’m forced to subscribe the latest 15(or a bit more) articles. What a pity! Have you ever faced this kind of scenario: I want to check a series of previous posts, say 2 month ago, or posts belonged to a specific category that I’m currently studying, but I don’t have time to reach them piece by piece right now, or these posts are of great educational value, but they are not my top priority…
What will you do? Save them on your bookmarklets? To be earnest I tried to do so, but I am so forgetful that the chance I go back check them is near zero. In addition, clicking on a huge number of posts links to see which one really interest me is a laborious work. (i.e. Seth Godin’s previous posts are great but not every post fit my flavor, thus I have to go throgh the titles to figure out those useful to me. Do you know have many posts there?! Nevertheless, I repeatedly tell myself that I should squeeze some time out to excavate his antique posts, but you know I never realize this dream.
)
I will be thankful if someone out there program a service that can feed me old posts. For example, I can set a range of time or a category of posts, or just assign the very first post as the starting point, and I will receive 10 posts chronically everyday/week until it reaches the newest one. This way, I won’t have to give up too much attention from daily jobs to dig deep into the trivial yet instructional vintage articles. Not to mention I can have a slight pressure (like my parents when I was a kid) to urge me go through valuable posts. Hopefully to be a scheduled progress of self-learning programs.
Hoo..I spent a whole afternoon looking for a service/software like this, but couldn’t get one.
ps. Anyone knows when did Seth Godin start to write blog? The earliest one I can find is dated Jan 15, 2002. More than 2000 posts on his blog!? A nightmare to be conquered…
