Some dutch do understand and do read the international weblog scene.

Frank-ly wrote a dutch article about the mindbombs from last week.
Even when you are not dutch you can follow the links and get the picture!
Finally someone who agrees with me and Punkey

Can you imagine the biggest* weblogs in Holland do NOT have a RSS feed?
check
Tonie, a journalism student busy weblogging, but no rss feed. Even no time to answer e-mail about this issue.
Retecool, person always giving comments about people/websites trying to get them pissed.
Gaby407, a person using different sources for his weblog but hardly ever mentions his sources..
Smoel, a webmagazine with different people weblogging

I have a number of regular visitors. Some do comment here, some never. A weblog does not show his popularity by counting comments. Of course: do your own thing, but RSS/XML is and will be the future. Spread your words. Let people get your headlines!

Polskaya wrote at his website (in dutch) perfect what RSS/XML is meant for:

Met RSS stel je de inhoud van bv je blog open voor andere media. Zij kunnen jou inhoud dan implementeren in hun ‘ding’ (zie bv http://www.punkey.com/nieuws ). Heel interessant om jou inhoud zonder moeite en up-to-date beschikbaar te maken voor al diegen die iets met jouw informatie kunnen aanvangen. Als je dat wil tenminste :)

The friendly dutch webloggers do not get it. Sharing information generates hits but they cannot or will not include the RSS/XML feed. A big shame.

Only a few do publish the feed & some do not even know they have one.

My daily news: I read it here: when the headlines are interesting to me: I click.
Saves me time. Much time.
