A similar website has been in existence for many years, GoMotorong, but it seems that Mark Volgar might be selling (or has sold) the site according to dbmini.us. Here's what Mark said about his RSS MINI siteI don’t hold claim to RSS feeds nor do I think that GoMotoring has claim that I made reading RSS feeds better. What I will say is that while numerous technophile users out there don’t see a need for my site, most users are very happy that I provide a one stop NEWS PORTAL for MINI related news. This shows in my repeat visit stats on the site. I never wanted to compete with NAM or MF, I just wanted to make the average MINI owner a spot to get all their information from one location and be able to go the site with the information they wanted to read.I used to do the same almost everyday. I would check out GoMotoring first, scan the page for any changes, and read any new items. The problem for these types of sites is that personal RSS readers are a lot more convenient. I now use Google Reader and I am glad I do. I have all the RSS feeds for all the sites I like to visit, including a few non MINI related ones, all in one place. And in addition I can mark items as read so they do not show up the next time I check for updates, a real time saver. GoMotoring used to be a time saver for me compared to visiting each site individually and checking for updates. Now Google Reader is even faster and customizable.
When I got my MINI I surfed at least 15 sites a day and very few of them had anything new to say. GoMotoring took care of that problem for me and has now been quite useful for many, many MINI owners in the same way
It seems that there are a number of MINI related sites that are transfering ownership in one way or another. NorthAmericanMotoring was recently sold and MINI2 was bought out a year ago I think. A lot of things are changing and hopefully for the better.
