[...] I’m also guessing it’s because RSS sounds a lot snappier than Atom (or RDF). That double S is akin to the two curved lines on the feed logo. I guess nobody wants to go neutral on this one, calling the feed icon an RSS icon instead. Others, however, are more concerned with the size of the icon (it’s a contest) rather than explaining what RSS actually is. (It’s “Really Simple Syndication”, by the way.) Face it, feeds are exclusive to automated publishing platforms such as blogs.

Hi Walt-

I didn’t find any women getting in this particular game, no.

This makes good sense: Since Firefox 2 and (unless I’m mistaken) IE7 both show their own RSS button right up there in the address bar when a feed is available, the RSS icon on the
website itself is rapidly becoming redundant.

What better time to go crazy with them?

On my browser at the moment, the address-bar button seems to be about half the size of yours, but equally effective.

Snarky question: Are any women involved in this “Mine’s bigger!” game?
