The World’s Biggest RSS Button!

written by John Chow on November 11, 2006

Make Money!

This is my blatant attempt to get more people to subscribe to my RRS feed. With that in mind, I like to present the world’s biggest RSS button. Please click on the button and subscribe to my RSS.

I got the button from the ReviewMe blog. I thought it was good but not big enough. So I made it even bigger! Now watch someone take this button and make an even bigger one.

It seems your publicity stunt worked well seeing as you now have 2299 subscribers, plus the fact that it attracted me over to your site.

I already subscribe to your RSS. And what is an RRS? ;-)

These giant RSS buttons will have aspiring million dollar homepage clone designers salivating like crazy! Million dollar RSS button anyone?

Jeff Sickles - The post would have received more than 200 Diggs if it didn't get buried. :(

John, yeah - I remember that post from a while back. RSS just doesn't make much sense to me if I can't finish the article without browsing to the page. Everyone has their preference!

What really befuddles me is how you can make a post simply on burgers (albeit good burgers) and have it hit 200 diggs! Keep up the good work!

You think your RSS button is big? You should see the one I did back on October 12, 2006... it comes in at 2,001 x 2,000 pixels. W00t!

Jeff Sickles - I have been debating whether or not to make the RSS a full feed. I asked for feedback on it, but it seems that most don't care much for it.

Now wait a minute John, you want us to sign up for your RSS feed (which I have been for quite some time), but then you leave us with disappointed short feeds. If you want to push people to RSS so badly, shouldn't you open up the content?

Sorry but this is the largest rss button. It's so big that it most likely won't fit on your screen:

Oh, and I'm going to mention this so we can keep track of whether your publicity stunt is working: Your feedburner badge currently reads "1121 Subscribers".

That's cute. Maybe I should try that with my blog.
