Google has provided a Add to Google button feature that can easily be integrated onto your blog or other site that offers RSS feeds. By placing an “Add to Google” button to your website your visitor will have an easier time adding you feed to their Google homepage or Google Reader. Not to be outdone, Yahoo! offers a similar feature. This is the first sign that I can remember seeing of a facility on a webpage that actually leads towards search engine. Remember that the idea up until now has always been that you get helped by a search engine engine to find what you’re looking for. Now with feedback mechanisms such as this I would imagine search engines have another method for getting even more efficient.

so where’s your button? ;)
Simple answer:
My target audience is Web Developers and Designers. I would expect and hope, that in the year 2005, they are aware of and are using RSS. If not, they should immediately go to Google and search for RSS Aggregator and learn how to consume this next generation web technology!
