Leave it to Steve to find this one! As it turns out, the Long Island Power Authority is now offering RSS feeds of their own. As “shocking” as this may seem, apparently a “light” went on with someone in the right dept. in order to make this happen.
I had to put a call into my local power company - the Long Island Power Authority - today to take care of a customer service issue. When I visited their site I was really “shocked” to see that the electric company has RSS feeds!
At first, I thought the power authority would only syndicate press releases, but they actually have a feed that streams every update to their Web site. What a simple way to build a relationship with customers. That’s more than my local cable company or for that matter the vast majority of all companies can say. It’s a simple formula for utilizing feeds. Just put any content in a feed that updates regularly. Source: Micro Persuasion
