09.11.08 Wikio: Simple RSS  By Neville Hobson If you're like me, you've probably got a range of options for people to subscribe to your blog's RSS feed. In addition to your main feed, often via FeedBurner, you might offer little chicklets or links that enable people to get your content via their preferred service such as Yahoo, Netvibes, Bloglines, etc. I have such a collection of chicklets on this site (and an untidy, raggedy collection it looks). A new service from European search engine and content portal Wikio, launching today, could be a better answer.  What Wikio offers bloggers and other publishers is a simple chicklet that, when clicked, will enable your readers to subscribe to your feed using the RSS service of their choice. It means you don't have to display a long list of various RSS services and their corresponding chicklets - like the raggedly collection I have - if you want to let your readers subscribe with their favourite RSS reader. Clicking on the chicklet once it's been installed on your site will open a new page containing a selection of popular RSS subscription options.
Then, one click and you're subscribed. Go ahead, try it out:  The range of service options you get is not yet as comprehensive as I'd like. But you can let Wikio know about others you'd like to see. This is not all you can do with the new Wikio service, though - you can also make your own widgets as well as a gadget for your Windows Vista desktop. Continue reading this article.
