Blogger Pro Goes All RSS on Us!

"As those who noticed the little XML icon below may have figured out, we have RSS generation working in Blogger Pro now. It took a while to get it in there, but I like how it works. It gives a fair amount of control, so your feed is something you won't mind people synidicating—without having to change drastically how you write your blog. (It's in beta. If you're a Pro user, check the mailing list for an explanation.) I wanted to get this done before I went down to eTech and had to face all those geeks." [EVHEAD]

Whoo-hoo and yee-haw! That means that the three most popular blogging tools (according to my own subjective assessment) - Radio, Movable Type, and Blogger Pro - all provide automatic syndication now. Combine that with Voidstar's RSSify and Aaron Swartz's Syndicate Your Page for free Blogger sites, and you've got some serious aggregation potential. Join me in doing the happy dance!

Addendum: Glenn Fleishman points out that http://www.noahgrey.com/greysoft/  can do RSS, too, although it is not automatic. To learn more about this, check out John Rhodes write up of Greymatter, RSS, and Syndication.
