VersionTracker Does RSS (Sensibly)

I have relied for years on VersionTracker (VT) for keeping up to date with the latest updates to software or finding out about new apps for Mac, Windows, and Palm platforms. On a recent visit to another similar site (MacUpdate) I began wondering why these types of sites do not have RSS feeds.

Well VersionTracker has it! First of all, for those (Ten Reasons Why, mezzoblue) that complain about the meaningless links from little orange XML icons, VersionTracker's RSS icon links first to a page that explains their Feeds as well as a brief intro to RSS and links to RSS readers:

Here are the VersionTracker RSS feeds:

Mac OSX - http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/recent.rss
MacOS - http://www.versiontracker.com/macos/recent.rss
Windows - http://www.versiontracker.com/windows/recent.rss
Palm - http://www.versiontracker.com/palmos/recent.rss

Very interesting side note- their Creative Commons license includes the Non-Commercial clause.

A CDB "Good Dog" wag for VersionTracker.
