Product Release and News Blogs

I may have mentioned this before, but it’s worth stating again. I follow almost all of the product blogs for the products I use. And when I can’t find one, I try and contact the vendor/developers and ask them if they can put one up. Sometimes I get a reply that there is a mailing list, which works for me as long as it is low traffic.

Today I was looking for RSS feeds for TrueCrypt and KeePass, which I’ve mentioned here before. Neither site had an RSS feed, but both sites had a news section somewhere on their website. I’ve seen this in a lot of places, and I’m wondering why there aren’t more RSS feeds available when people have news sections?

Product update information – especially security related updates – are important to get out to as many users and quickly as possible. If you develop anything open source, or available for others to use, please make an attempt to get the information out as quickly as possible – and maybe on as many mediums as possible.

I’m also going to post a list of the common product RSS feeds I follow so others can get to them easily.
