As some of you already know, Microsoft recently announced that the next version of Internet Explorer, IE 7, will use the well-known orange icon Firefox’s default theme uses for RSS and Atom feeds. As a dedicated Firefox user, I’m pretty excited about the atmosphere this creates for further collaboration among broswer developers to create (and abide by) standards for the web.

You can help to establish the new standard by simply using the icon instead of a text “RSS” link or the graphic. If you haven’t already, check out FeedIcons.com. Download. Customize. Use.

Check the bottom of this site for how I’m using it.

Store Clerk 1: Nature’s Emporium, how can I help you?
Me: Hi. Do you have aquarium plants there?
SC1: Yes we do.
Me: Do you have Elodea?
SC1: Let me check
-hold-
SC2: This is Heidi, how can I help you?
Me: I was calling to see if you have any Elodea in stock?
SC2: No, we don’t. We don’t have any aquarium plants or fish. We just have feeder goldfish.
Me. Oh. Thanks.
