New Shanghaiist RSS feeds (and Twitter, of course)

We at Shanghaiist know that you are busy people (or that at least you try to act like busy people when your bosses are around). That's why we launched a Favorites page a while back. On it you can find the most popular Shanghaiist posts based on comments and votes (the "Recommend This!" link you see at the bottom of each post). So if you are rushed for time, you can just visit that page to see the posts other people are talking about. And for those rare occasions when you aren't busy, it's also a good page to play with for a while — you can sort our most popular posts by day, week, month, year and all-time. Did you know our most commented post ever is "Just say no ... to Christmas" from December '06? How depressing: Eighty-two comments on that one.

Anyway, we now have Favorites page RSS feeds that spit out only the most popular Shanghaiist posts, based on comments and recommendations. We have a weekly feed and a monthly feed — each one gets between 20-30 posts during their respective time frames. Here are the feed URLs:

Monthly: http://shanghaiist.com/month_favorites.xml
Weekly: http://shanghaiist.com/week_favorites.xml

Enjoy.

Also, like just about everyone else, Shanghaiist is now posting to Twitter, a relatively recent way to keep tabs on what your friends are up to. We consider all of you to be our friends, so if you feel the same way, you can find us here:
