Feeding the Internet


Hey, does anyone know what this means?Its the Web Feed icon. And guess what? It's royalty free. Check it out, you can find icon packs of it online, literally you can use this wonderful little icon whenever and however you want. It was originally created by Mozilla, the people who made the browser your currently using, and released, for free, onto the internet. And my god, did it catch on. How many campaigns can you think of that use the imagery of this new cultural icon? Here's a big one.

But our little tale of righteous revelry doesn't end there. Why did Mozilla do this? With the internet being a patchwork cloth of creators nothings been universal since html, and even that's not particularly common. So Mozilla thought, very foresight-fully, that they wouldn't be around for ever, but this nifty little feed technology just might catch on. So they gave it an icon as open as the internet.
