Rick Hallihan asks why Microsoft's http://connect.microsoft.com/ site doesn't have RSS?

And then gives a list of other teams that he'd like to see have RSS feeds. My reply?

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhh.

Like I said, I'm drinking too much crappy coffee. I'm off to chase these teams and explain why RSS is important. Let's just start with "Rick asked for it."

Last year I said "any marketer who doesn't have RSS should be fired." I was told that was a bit extreme. OK, here's something that Microsofties can understand a bit better: "any team that doesn't have an RSS feed should get automatic 3.0s on their next reviews." Yes. For the whole team. That'll put some pressure on people to start putting RSS on. http://www.mix06.com got the message. 4.0s for them!
