One of the great things to come out of the internet phenomenon is RSS. If you don't know what RSS is by now, you've probably got someone to print this off for you so I'm not going to bother explaining.
As I've mentioned previously, RSS makes it ever so simple to keep up to date with my favourite journals.
I realized that Trends in Biochemical Sciences, a review journal that I remember fondly from my graduate days, is not in my feed. So I tootle off to Google, find the website (spit, Elsevier) at ScienceDirect and click on the Article feed button:
Which leads directly to a custom 404 page saying Feed? What feed?
Come on people. It's two thousand and bloody eight. This isn't, never was, rocket science.
Thank goodness for BaRf.

Yes! My sentiment exactly!
Another thing that annoys me are those major journals that don't offer their advanced online publications by RSS feed (e.g. Cell).
