Rss Feeds

RSS is an acronym for many members of a family tree, common expanded names are RichSiteSummary, ReallySimpleSyndication and RdfSiteSummary. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_%28protocol%29). Such feeds are typically branded with an icon (). WardsWiki (this site) has a RecentChangesRss.For RSS feeds we need RSS Aggregators.

EditHint: Move the following paragraph to another page, perhaps MicrosoftWebFeedDiscussion??

In Aug05 MS attempts to use "WebFeed" as a substitute name for RssFeeds. The company gets labelled by DaveWiner at his blog entry at http://archive.scripting.com/2005/08/13#meanInternationalSoftwareMonopoly


RdfSiteSummary is the title of version 1.0 of the RSS specification.

ReallySimpleSyndication is the title of version 2.0 of the RSS specification.

AtomSyntax is intended to do similar things (to RSS2.0) but not initially designed to conform with any RSS specs. It attempts to address more complicated needs than RSS V2 but the spec is not yet finished.

Podcasting uses an RSS2.0 formatted feed that encloses MP3 files. Requires a compatible reader (not on PocketPc yet). See http://www.msmobiles.com/news.php/3232.html
