Evers: Too Much, PSFK, And You’re Off My RSS List

Evers: Too Much, PSFK, And You’re Off My RSS List

By Piers Fawkes on November 14, 2005

TrendWatching‘s Reinier Evers popped by the PSFK office for a nice cup of tea on Friday afternoon. Evers was in NYC after delivering a very good TW presentation on Thursday and it was nice of him to drop by to chat (btw: the whole trend community seems very open and friendly – Bill, the Cool Hunter, popped by earlier on Friday too).

Anyway, one thing that Evers talked about was the vast amount of trend information being produced – how could a regular trend watcher cope? He joked that if PSFK increased the volume of posts per day to over 10, that he’d have to take us off his RSS list as he would feel too swamped!

It’s a very interesting discussion point, and I’d love some feedback from you through the ‘Comments’ box. For something to react to, consider these future strategies for PSFK:

a) PSFK does a Godin – makes occasional high-and-mighty commentary on trend subjects – and therefore becomes a popular site.
b) PSFK does a Boing Boing – makes very frequent posts about anything and everything trend related – and therefore becomes a popular site.
c) We create RSS feeds by category allowing poor ‘regular trend watchers’ to get headlines by their preferred subject area.
d) erm, your call.

Thanks, P.
