The RSS Feeds Home Page (Outlook 2007)

Microsoft has recently modified the RSS Feeds home page, stripping out most of its value. Let's talk about what we have now.

To reach the Outlook RSS Feeds home page, look for the RSS Feeds folder in the Outlook 2007 Mail Folders list. Click that, and Outlook opens a page called: "RSS Feeds - Outlook Syndicated Contest (RSS) Directory." The page provides some minimal introductory information, and that's it.

Oh, and one little link at the end of the text that points you to a page of instructions on Office.Microsoft.com for subscribing to an RSS feed. This page opens inside Outlook, but is in fact a standard web page.

What Happened to All the Feeds?

It used to be that you could choose from an assortment of RSS feeds right inside Outlook. That collection of big-name feeds is gone now. However, if you do want to browse a collection of Outlook- and Office-related RSS feeds, Microsoft has one at:
