    What's the most creative thing you have done with an RSS feed? Besides the usual blogs/newsfeeds, I've seen product specials/promotion feeds, and I just saw some guy here with a feed of regularly-updated URL/linking directories (pretty cool.)

    cheers

    I have a site that stores bookmarks online. I made an RSS feed for individual users bookmarks, works well with firefox's live bookmarks.

    based on my webalizer's URL ( most visited pages ) i create an RSS feed with a hotlist of readers top picks and update it once or a few times monthly.
    its the only one of my 3 RSS feeds that is NOT about new content i write. however this feed is used very frequently and thus shows a real interest for top picks readers choice.

    i fact myself i would be more than happy to find such type or similar feeds from content sites to be added as SSI into pages of releveant content as value added feature for my readers - at the same time if SSI - they could work perfectly as free NON-recip-links

    until now too few value sites offer feeds

    I have an RSS feed for new listings in my links directory so that others can see who I'm approving and approach them for links too.

    I also have a site that is like a mini directory of local blogs using their rss feeds for content and then in the right margin I have feeds from related forums. I get a smidgen of content, they get a stack of inbound links.
