Where do you want feeds?#

I just posted about using RSS to track a package and it begs the question.  Where else should organisations be offering RSS feeds that they are not now?

A couple spring to mind for me.

Firstly I have not found a really good RSS enable local (NZ) news site.  This irks me.  Stuff.co.nz is a really good news site, but it lacks feeds and consequently I never visit it.  I am often better informed on world events than local events.

Shipping companies should also be offering their own tracking feeds so that we don't have to use 3rd party ones.

What about online retailers?  They could (and some do) be offering RSS feeds for new items, specials and the like.

Lastly, one that I have blogged about before - hardware drivers!  If I have a Motion Computing LS800 (which I do) I should be able to go to the Motion site and subscribe to the LS800 drivers feed.  Every time there is a new driver I would see it in my feeds and make an informed choice about installing it.  There is a win-win here for the vendor if you assume that their new drivers resolve more issue than they create.  Allowing your clients to easily stay up to date will reduce the support calls related to driver issues.

Any more?
