Getting SharePoint 2010 Activity Feeds in RSS

To get your activities in RSS format, browse to the activityfeed.aspx page:
To get the activities of your colleagues in RSS format, use the consolidated=true query string:
To get the activities of a particular user, pass in the user account using the publisher parameter:
Here are a few screen shots:
I’ve tested the output in the SharePoint 2010 RSS Viewer Web Part, and it works. It’s not the most interesting read, but it could be extended to provide a richer RSS experience for activity feeds.
