RSS Feeds

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for a pretty basic feature – RSS feeds.  Well, the good news is that Zigtag is already fully RSS-compliant!

To get the RSS feed of a single user, the link is:
http://www.zigtag.com/rss/<username>

Note that if you subscribe to your own feed, this will only show public bookmarks (see a later post on Zigtag’s extensive privacy settings).  A later feature may be to offer a secure, authenticated RSS feed which will also show anonymous and private bookmarks.  Is this something you as a user would like?

Here are some other useful RSS feeds:

http://www.zigtag.com/rss/tag/apple/4042691 shows the bookmarks tagged with just a specific defined tag, here the tag defined as “Apple Inc.”

http://www.zigtag.com/rss/tag/scott/Apple/4042691 would show you all the things tagged with “Apple Inc.” by “scott”.

http://www.zigtag.com/rss/recent will show you a feed of everything that has been added to Zigtag recently, sorted by popularity.  It is the same list that is on http://www.zigtag.com/tag/

The only RSS feed that is currently referenced on the website is a specific user’s feed on their profile page, but in the next release we will expose the rest on the website, when exploring a certain tag intersection.
