RSS Classroom
If orange tags being sported on many blogs dig your curiosity, then this is for you!
How cool would it be if you automatically got an alert in an email like fashion, of my latest blog posting as soon as I added it?
"I am reading a website so often, I just want the website to tell me when something new is there." - Dave Winer, co-inventor of the RSS format.
Yesterday, BBC News Technology featured an article with interesting analogies on understanding the basics of site syndication with formats like RSS or ATOM: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4421707.stm
Site Syndication is an interesting angle to how the web is moulding; rather maturing.
The salesman in me jumps with joy when realizing as to how much content and how many products I will be able to push down your throat just because you clicked on that tiny little orange tag!
For now, take Opera 8. It has a really cool RSS/ATOM Site Aggregator! ;)

dude RSS technology rocks. I had a huge arguement recently where my theory was/is that email will lose relevance and especially discussion boards will become obsolete.
what's your take on this?
Also kindly update my address on your blog: http://abhi.nomadlife.org
I finally got around to downloading opera! so far it's much better than I remember from all those years ago...
Have fun in Japan! I'm so jealous!
What RSS really lends is the flexibility for the user to tune-in to what he wants.
What I like about RSS is it's potential as a non-intrusive marketing channel. The receivers of an RSS feed are a critical mass built on the genuine interest from an intended target group.
I think RSS will completely change the way we percieve online advertising. Will it change email advertising? Yes. Abs, will it make email loose relevance, I think no.
