The other day I took the plunge and updated my blog with feeds from del.icio.us and my Google Reader shared items. First off, it was really easy to put together. jQuery is a great library that has done an excellent job providing a huge bang for the buck.

What is more important though about this bit of work is my decision not to include the items in my main feed. I thought about it and felt that each feed deserves its own context and resource. I also think it suggests the value of RESTful design. By providing different resources for different contexts, I give you, the reader, the ability to tweak what feeds you want to follow. Likewise, if I had twitter feed (don't hold your breath), I would definitely keep it off of my primary blog because the context is so different.

If you normally view my blogs from a feed reader, please take a minute to visit the actual site and possibly subscribe to my other feeds. In all honesty, I usually post more and they are shorter. Being a rather long winded writer at times, I hoping the brevity is considered a feature. Thanks for reading!
