Lisa asked about tracking packages on Bloglines. (The package just arrived; when I told the guy “I tracked you through my RSS aggregator!” his eyes got jittery and he backed out of the patio and ran to his truck…)
It’s easy… if you know how! Ain’t that always the case? Here’s what you do:
1. Get your tracking number
2. In the Bloglines left pane, select Add
3. In the right pane, select Package Tracking
4. Select your carrier
5. Add your tracking ID just like any other feed
Most of the time it works great. I’ve had trouble adding some tracking numbers, but I haven’t pinpointed the problem.
After the package arrives, remove the feed.

Thanks! A package was shipped to me yesterday via UPS, so I got to add the tracking to Bloglines. Now I don’t have to remember to keep checking. Fun!

Don’t forget it’s not limited to UPS, either! You can also track FedEx and USPS.
