Internet Explorer Microsoft has decided which icon it will use for RSS feeds in Internet Explorer 7. Now, I hear you say, so what? Well, the funny thing is, Microsoft teamed up with the Mozilla team on this one. They decided that it's in the user's best interest that both browsers use the same icon for RSS. And so it happened that Microsoft chose Firefox's icon.

Even though "its just an icon", its symbolic of the greater good that comes from cooperating. Standardizing on commonality is a step in the right direction, even if it is a simple icon. All voyages begin with a first step.

Good stuff.
