IE And Mozz Collaborate On RSS Icon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the working-together-to-make-the-internet-better dept.

sylverboss writes "The Microsoft Team RSS blog is reporting that IE7 is adopting the RSS icon used in Firefox. They all agreed that it's in the user's best interest to have one common icon to represent RSS and RSS-related features in a browser. The increasing collaborative efforts between the browser vendors in the last few weeks is an honest attempt to create a standard Web interface for everyone, no matter what browser is used."

    ...an Icon representing the users of RSS. Perhaps a dirty bearded RMS type nerd character. One who will never get a date because they have a desperate needieness for useless info that can only be filled by RSS feeds from TheForce.Net and Slashdot. Dirty fuckin nerds.

    Why not work with Apple on this and use the one Safari implements? It's obviously more clear to the user about what the function is and seems to have inspired the placement in the address bar by both the current release of Firefox.
