Google now allows you to follow updates on any Web site even if it doesn’t have a really simple syndication (RSS) feed. In my opinion, RSS is one of the most underutilized and powerful Web tools available.  Google has upped the game by making every site an RSS feed through their Google Reader.  I’m thinking about my competitor’s Web site as a great test for the new application.  If you want to do the same, take a Web site and place it in the add a subscription box in Google reader. Google will make note that it is not a traditional RSS feed and ask if you would like one.

Speaking of RSS: If you are interested in receiving feeds via e-mail, even if the option is not provided, feedmyinbox.com seems like an easy solution.  They offer free and premium services.

Astronaut Soichi Noguchi is sharing his images on twitpics from the space station http://twitpic.com/119les.

Citrify is a clean online photography editing platform. It is quick and easy to use. It offers a premium version, but the free version has all the basics you would expect, plus some useful filters and effects.

Seed.com: This is a new site from AOL designed to give writers and photographers opportunities to be published on its network of properties.   They offer a list of assignments on various subjects that pay from $25 to $100.

Seed.com offers three types of  license agreements for your work. Please read the terms of service before you send a piece.  In the rights-grab environment we live in, I’ve seen much worse.  Decide for yourself.

Woorank.com is a site I mention on the podcast. It’s a new search engine optimization evaluation option.
