SubscriberTrack – Tracking Who Subscribes to Your Blog

Steve Maine is trying to figure out a way to track who subscribes to his blog.  He wants something like Trackback or PingBack, but for RSS subscriptions.  He suggests one possible solution using XML-RPC. Check out his blog entry for more info.

I met Steve at the XMLDevCon, and have subscribed to his blog ever since.  He has some great ideas, so when you get a chance, stop by and give it a read.

  • I did and left a comment too. My hesistation arises from how he plans to identify, store and use this database of user info. It feels like another way for spammers to collect more info about me. Sure, on the one side the capabilities of doing such a thing in RSS sounds great, but in reality such a thing would cause many many headaches. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should!
