More RSS Icons

A while ago I posted and raved about the Ojingogo rss icons. As cool as it is, there are more.
In fact, I was browsing a while ago and stumbled upon what could probably be the ultimate list of free RSS Icons from Hong Kiat's blog. The Ojingogo icon was listed too! yay :D
Here are some of my favorites apart from the Ojingogo one of course ;)

So what's up about RSS icons? If you still don't know what RSS is, here's a definition from whatisrss.com:

RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.

This one taken from hongkiat.com:

More and more bloggers and webmasters are using RSS syndication to convert their webblog visitors into regular readers. However before you can start getting them to subscribe, you’ll need to first catch their attentions. Obvious and catchy RSS icon can be a good start. It is pretty straight forward that if a RSS icon (or button) is big enough and positioned highly on the upper fold, they tend to be more effective.

Now to answer the previous question, simply cos its neat. I'm a sucker for art, gfx, or anything related. As simple as that. Again, this came up during a chat with a friend of mine, Rush, who
asked me how to change the rss icon in his blog. I hadn't put much thought into it but after browsing interesting resources I can say I got hooked. I mean, like I've mentioned earlier, I get easily fascinated by cool gfx, be it icons or whatnot. I should thank my friend for the "inspiration" and for feeding me with blog fodder. Glad you brought it up Rush dude. (Oh, I'm still holding on to my Ojingogo by the way for now, even if there's other hordes of other icons.)
So yeah, you should go check it out yourself too! Maybe you'll be the next one hooked or rather, marked. ;)
