Forbes Magazine Participates in the RSS Revolution

Forbes, which trumpeted the glories of RSS about 6 months ago, has jumped aboard the RSS groove train. They offer a well-populated RSS jump page , with over 40 subjects represented, including headlines, columnists, and multiple sub-categories of Business, Personal Finance, Work, Technology, and Lifestyle. (Yes, Forbes does "Food and Wine," in their own way, for those of you missing your New York Times culinary RSS fix.)

Note: The RSS jump page is a trend I find slightly disturbing, since it seems to draw too much of a distinction between RSS delivery and "normal" delivery. I think there should be RSS links on Forbes' main subject pages, which are currently a cluttered mess, IMHO. The good news is that Forbes does include contextual RSS links on individual story pages. Of course, jump pages do draw people's attention to the burgeoning use of RSS, and they are nice targets for posts like this, so I guess it's a double-edged sword.
