RSS feeds now on www.innocentive.com!

RSS feeds are a popular way to let people subscribe to timely updates from their favorite web sites. Instead of having to keep checking the web site to see what’s new, you can sit back on your couch and let your RSS reader application do all the work.

Our “Perspectives on Innovation” blog already has an RSS feed. Now we’ve added feeds for Challenges as well, so you can quickly and easily find out when InnoCentive posts a new Challenge.  Just go to our RSS home page, click on the orange RSS icon next to the Challenge feed that interests you, then follow your web browser’s instructions to subscribe to the feed. You can sign up for feeds that include all open Challenges, or only Challenges in a particular discipline (e.g., Business/Entrepreneurship or Life Sciences), or only Challenges that belong to a particular pavilion (e.g., Clean Tech and Renewable Energy). Each discipline and pavilion page also has an RSS icon that links to the feed for that page.

Take our feeds out for a spin and send us comments, flowers, and brickbats!

    I find it a little strange that you set up a separate site for this, instead of just serving up a feed based on the “my challenges” page. There’s also no way to find the RSS page unless you notice the little pale text link down in the footer. Can you tell us a little more about the thought process behind this?

    Not sure what you mean by “separate site” and a feed based on the “my challenges” page – could you elaborate? The RSS feed is hosted on innocentive.com. Feeds are open to anyone, you don’t have to be a registered Solver – linking the feed from My Challenges only would be restrictive. Not sure if you’re proposing that feeds should be customized per user. That could degrade site performance.

    I agree that the RSS home page could be made more visible. We are planning to run a news item on the front page about RSS and are exploring other ways to make RSS more visible.
