The Future of RSS
June 19, 2007
In an article on ReadWrite, RSS is defined but also extended. Here are some quotes:
“So today RSS is a great distribution medium. Why? Because it has become ubiquitous. If you are an online business with customers and you do not utilize RSS, then you are simply missing out. Smart companies are leveraging blogs, photos, video, podcasts to stay in touch with customers daily. Other services, like del.icio.us (owned by Yahoo), allow users to publish and subscribe to feeds, enabling powerful social networks outside the website.”
“In order for RSS extensions to work, the second piece of the old technology dilemma needs to be solved. There needs to be a common format for communicating data between applications.”
So the future of RSS may be as a lightweight tool to transfer data between applications. More on this soon.
