It looks like your system here auto-links, and I messed up the link. Anyway, it's &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.hittail.com"&gt;http://www.hittail.com&lt;/a&gt; I'm putting thought into how to let people similarly visualize their tail. &lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=629337" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: How RSS thickened my Long Tail</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexbarn/archive/2005/09/06/461311.aspx#628417</link><pubDate>Mon, 12 Jun 2006 20:30:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:628417</guid><dc:creator>MSDNArchive</dc:creator><description>thanks Mike.

Although it's not specifically about using RSS for the purpose, my company built a tool that helps you thicken your long tail. In the sprit of building hits in the tail, it's called &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.hittail.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;HitTail&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;"&gt;http://www.hittail.com&amp;quot;&amp;gt;HitTail&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And I like to think of the process as HitTailing.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=628416" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>intruder&amp;#8217;s register &amp;raquo; rss is evil?</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexbarn/archive/2005/09/06/461311.aspx#557866</link><pubDate>Wed, 22 Mar 2006 15:40:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:557866</guid><dc:creator>intruder’s register » rss is evil?</dc:creator><description>PingBack from &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://register.intruder.ru/2005/08/22/rss-is-evil/"&gt;http://register.intruder.ru/2005/08/22/rss-is-evil/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=557866" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>eBay APIs: Innovation without barriers</title><link>http://blogs.msdn.com/b/alexbarn/archive/2005/09/06/461311.aspx#530470</link><pubDate>Sun, 12 Feb 2006 19:28:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:530470</guid><dc:creator>Alex Barnett blog</dc:creator><description>Just days after announcing its RSS news, now eBay has confirmed that it is dropping their...&lt;img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=530470" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
