Just the other day, I was checking out my former employer's new website. For an organization as large as it is -- one of the nation's largest statewide community colleges serving 111,000 student on 23 campuses, the student blogs are contrived and the videos used for promotional purposes look like a third grader produced them. The site is just awful and an embarrassment. Yeah, RSS feeds are good. Just the other day, I was checking out my former employer’s new website.

Which is empty, by the way. I'm going to give it time. True Chip… but you would think there would be an RSS feed at the very least for the Press Release archive.

I'm not saying it is a bad idea, but it is a more ambitious undertaking for many government agencies where approvals are even hairier than in big corporations.
