Friday&#39;s announced feature aims to make that even easier by helping users consume, discuss and collaborate on aggregated news directly from within their groups. <br /><br />Will this provide RSS greater exposure? Doubtful. It&#39;s integrated in very seamless way, perhaps to not cause attention to itself. The content, not the technology, is the most important component to Web success.</p> <p><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/linkedinrss.gif" alt="" /></p> <p>__________<br /><br /><b>What&#39;s One Great Idea Worth?</b><br /><i></i>Upgrade to a <a href="http://website magazine.com/prosubscribe/">professional-level membership from Website Magazine</a> and find out!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/content/aggbug.aspx?PostID=7837" width="1" height="1">rsslinkedinlinkedin rss
