Did I miss the RSS feed being put onto the site?
I just saw this as I was Lurking on the site. Is it new to the site or to me?

Nope again they put things up and don't tell us. Are you are surprised? I think @faughty should start a deals.woot.com newsletter thread of all things new at deals.woot.com At this point it could be a daily post.
@hobbit: yeah @josefresno mentioned new stuff was coming in the question you asked an hour ago.
@sgoman5674: I saw that. I also spelled @faughtey's name wrong.
@sgoman5674: oooOOOOoooooh, I see what you're talking about now.
I thought you meant RSS feeds being available at all - that's been around since beta. But the buttons are new.
@anotherhiggins: Right the buttons. I knew about the adding the .rss somewhere to the url to subscribe.
Me? I don't know any more than you do!
@faughtey: no I was thinking of what you did over on woot and how we could benefit from a weekly/daily deals update thingy. Sort of a This is what is happening on Deals......and even pick some cool deals that hit popular. Too bad AtW don't get tweeted though.
@hobbit: OMG. Take that back. The very last thing we need is questions hitting popular and also getting tweeted. There are already too many questions being moved over (I never thought I'd say that). Some things are meant to be ephemeral, including many of the discussions that end up over here, and never ever get another comment after they move.
@shrdlu: I did not say that I wanted them to become tweets, I just said it was too bad.
@hobbit: Yeah, I know, and I also know that certain people don't need any encouragement on adding stuff that we don't want, and ignoring stuff that would make the site more user friendly. Notice how carefully I phrased that? I'm quite proud of myself.
Hey, I just bought wallflowers today. What an amazing fragrance! Whoa. I never knew the official name for these, only a common name that had died out, and I haven't seen them since I was a girl.
Beautiful things, and that smell is just heaven to me.
[Edit] Better link.
@hobbit: I sent you a pm over on the woot side. :)
On a related note, did everyone see the new avatars on woot?
@hobbit: Glad I wasn't drinking anything. It would have come out of my nose. Heck, my brains just almost did. :-D
@faughtey: So, I just went over and looked at them. I will NEVER post on Woot again. I may go over and delete anything I've ever posted. I don't want a member's page. Dammit. My stomach hurts.
@faughtey: Actually, I just created a new facebook account, which I used ONLY to upload a picture I preferred. Its birthdate is the UNIX Epoch. That seemed most fitting.
I really am distressed that I can't hide the information that I'd prefer to hide. I mean, slashdot was doing this in 1997. How is this different?
@shrdlu: It looks like they are also working to link that members page to activity over here on deals.woot. If you select deals from the drop down, it says they're working on integrating it, but gives a link to your user tab here in the meantime.
@reemus: It doesn't give a link to your usertab. It gives a link to the deals you've posted. That's a slight semantic difference, I know, but I still feel the need to point it out. Poor @theflounder has never ever posted a deal (and don't look for one, either).
@shrdlu: The link on woot brings you to the same place as clicking on your user name here does. Showing deals posted, commented, voted and questions asked, commented, voted.
@reemus: Yeah, but... I said it was a semantic quibble. I almost require a flag with my name that says "it's EARLY. ignore me."
@shrdlu: You're right. I forgot one must wait until you have had your coffee. :)
