the GASM Feed is no longer hosted on my old Elvicities account, but now resides at the much more appropriate URL:
http://www.principiadiscordia.com/gasmfeedsome of you may ask, WTF is the GASM Feed? well it's some sort of thingy that leverages the social bookmarking power of web 2.0 in order to create a decentralized communication hub for the GASM projects. it also has a long tail.
SAYWHUT?
well basically it works like this:
- you wanna start a new GASM, or have something to add to an existing GASM? put whatever you got to say on a website somewhere (anywhere, can be a thread on PD.com, but keep it public, so no threads in O:MF or the GASM subforum, can be on the GASM Wiki, can be just a scribble on shorttext.com, whatever) then you bookmark this URL on your
http://del.icio.us account (don't have one yet? get one!) and be sure to tag it with
both "gasm" and "<something>gasm" based on the name of the gasm it's about. and a bunch of other tags you may like. (please don't tag the same things to multiple GASMs). after a while it will appear automagically on the GASM Feed.
- let's say you made pictures that are relevant to a GASM (currently that would probably be the posterGASM), simply upload them to your
http://Flickr.com account and tag them "<something>gasm". Flickr works a bit slower than del.icio.us, so it might take a day or so before the photos appear on the GASM Feed.

I will fix as soon as i get the chance, though. Even though I dislike IE, the point of the GASM Feed is exposure, so the target audience must be as large as possible, no matter their complete disregard for basic computer safety :-P
