I have noticed that the Online Gooner has now put in place RSS to update on new articles Ect...
Was just wondering how easy it would be to set up a sort of Match Day RSS for subscribers to teh gooner and other forums/blogs. My thinking is that the RSS updates you when changes have happened. Would be good to get an email or alers on your desktop of match day plans (such as the old kits day V chavski) or new chant intended to get going at teh game. Could state new issue of gooner out, reminder to go to the rocket, away fan taunts ect... I liked teh idea of the old shirt day vs chavs and the whole day thing during last year of highbury. Could get a similar thing going next season (perm wig day v teh scousers, chef day vs the scum, Orange day for teh ice man) with people getting a notice during teh week b4 teh game,
If thsi was communicated to thousands through RSS could get quite an atmosphere going
What do people think, woudl need someone to organise its promotion on other sites (such as arseblog ect..)

What the f*ck is RSS? Is it infectious? Will I need to get an injection?
Its something most websites offer now (including this one 
You donwload a small peice of software which adds a info bar to your desktop (can get lots of different ways of reading that the one i use) then subsribe to an rss, which affectively means whenever a website you have subscribe dto updates itself, it tells you a summary of teh change. BBC sport have one which gives you all the headlines as tehy happen, there pretty popular now, you will see an orange rectangle with rss in it on websites which offer teh service
affectively if you get 1000 peopel subscribing you could send a message out midweek saying, dont forget its bergkamp day on saturday, all wear orange
