StackOverflow atom feed to use with VS2008 Start Page

Question

Is there a URL for StackOverflow that I can use on the VS startpage in place of the never updated MS page? The URL that VS uses can be set on the Tools->Options::Startup dialog.

I've tried https://stackoverflow.com/feeds VS complaints with the following error:

The current news channel might not be a valid RSS feed, or your internet connection might be unavailable. To change the news channel, on the Tools menu, click Options, then expand Environment and click Startup.

Answer 1

It appears that https://stackoverflow.com/feeds is actually an atom feed and not rss so that is probably where the VS issue is coming from.

You may have to create an intermediary and transform the atom to rss.
