This is a question, not a criticism. Of what benefit is this as opposed to going to the SP What's New page? Why not just go to SP as I do way too much already? Perhaps an explanation of this would help me and some others understand the Why of this article.
Websites publish lists of updates (called "feeds") that indicate when new content has been posted. You can subscribe to these feeds in a feed reader. Then, instead of visiting all the websites that you want to check for new content (like SP), you only check your feed reader where all the new content of all the websites that you are tracking is listed (usually with links to the new content). You should try it, it's an incredible time saver.
This article explains how to subscribe to feeds for new SP content.
I stuffed the TR feed here:

Thanks for providing the RSS.

Thanks Daniel!
Thanks for putting this up. I saves a lot of time for someone who has to administer the site. However, there's something wrong with the "areas & ranges" link:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

Hi Daniel,
I am preparing a mashup and I would like to query the places / routes of SP and display the results on a map. What I need is
- place ID
- name / desc
- geo:lat + geo:lon
- URL to SP resource
I'm not aware of such a feed but it should be easy to implement using the techniques I use for the above feeds (screen scraping). If you still need help send me an email. -- Cheers Daniel

Queryable feed for places and routes?Hi Daniel,
I am preparing a mashup and I would like to query the places / routes of SP and display the results on a map. What I need is
- place ID
- name / desc
- geo:lat + geo:lon
- URL to SP resource
Is there, you think, a feed like this available?
Ádám
