You’ll be pleased to learn that there are easier ways to keep up to date on ORG happenings than just dropping by every Tuesday at 3pm. The classic way is to subscribe to our email updates, which you can manage right here:

Sadly, our classic subscriptions don’t notify you of new comments. You can subscribe when you make a comment on a post, but what if you want to know about all comments, even on posts you haven’t commented on? There are actually three different ways you can subscribe to both posts and comments:

Feeds: Using an aggregator such as Google Reader you can subscribe to either the posts feed or the comments feed. Following feeds in an aggregator is an efficient way to keep track of a whole bunch of news sites like the ORG.

Twitter: If you like Twitter (and who doesn’t?) you can befriend the ORG to get post and comment updates. You could even subscribe to the ORG Twitter account’s RSS tweet feed, but that’d just be silly.

Feedburner email subscriptions: Our own email updates are timely but sometimes unreliable. If you value reliability over timeliness, you may want to try subscribing to ORG posts at Feedburner. You can also subscribe to comments there.

Facebook: If Twitter is good, then we’d better be on Facebook too, right? Become a fan of the ORG and you’ll get updates about new posts – I haven’t figured out how to get comments posted there yet.
