I haven’t used RSS feeds yet, but was thinking along the same lines as well: like a pop up in teh menu bar like Skype

One question I did have about the RSS is: what happens if someone makes a very minor change, like removing a “.“ and replacing it with a “,“ will it send our an RSS and how do the people who receive the RSS know what is new and what is old?

I think it would also be great if you could manually choose to notify the people that the blog has been updated. Maybe you will be working on it all day and only want to notify them at the end, you hit a button ‘update subscribers’ and then it sends it out.

Am i missing something?

Thanks for your thoughts, with RSS feeds working nicely now we are looking at additional ways to manage notifications and appreciate your feedback.
