What on earth are Microsoft trying to do here? This is the US Software Patent office at its most ridiculous ever!! It has filed a patent on the Windows RSS Platform. Does this apply to Europe?
Part of the application appears to be describing the auto-discovery methods of detecting feeds in a page, but what about […]
With well formed data, there’s no reason why not.
Now, can we please work out the right way to *do* OPML please?
Basically:
If you want to point to a WEBSITE: use type=link and url=http://your.web.site.com
If you want to point to an RSS feed use type=rss and xmlUrl=htt://www.your.rss.feed.com/rss.xml
If you want to point to MORE OPML use type=include […]
For Vista, when it comes out, here’s an app/widget from Microsoft called UniveRSS.
UniveRSS is a showcase application that demonstrates the use of several WPF features, 3D animations, data binding, and data visualization. Currently UniveRSS uses the RSS Feed Store managed through Internet Explorer 7. Later versions will allow you to manage the Feed Store from […]
If you head on over to index.podcast.com , you will find a browsable A to Z index of all the podcasts in the podcast.com system.
Soon, you’ll be able to easily add feeds from this or the search (or anywhere!) to your own podcast directory and share the shows you like to listen to […]
Recently, I have been playing with the Nokia N91 - with Wifi built-in and a 4gb hard disk on board too - to test some podcast stuff I have been building. I have to say I really like it - especially as they let me plug standard headphones into the jack.
They have a neat little […]
So, there I was last night,hanging around on the ‘RSS Platform’ in Nooribeom, watching the fearsome news of the ‘Real World’ fly by, when none other than Hamlet Au, the ‘embedded journalist’ in Second Life (though not at Linden Lab any more) on New World Notes dropped by to check out the BBC NewsScreens I […]
Just spotted this great post about explaining RSS to your mum, dad, etc
Good stuff!
Well, after ages of thinking and and coding, I have managed to do a huge overhaul of the podcast.com code, mainly in the directory / feed folder rendering department.
Ever since I built the first rendition of the renderer. I knew I’d have to rethink it somewhat, to cope with many, many users without losing the […]
For anyone out there interested in Dave’s River of News concepts, please come and have a read of this, over on my OPML powered blog. I think it’s very important and hopefully will be very, very helpful in giving this simple genius concept more data to play with and feed from.
Scoble comments on the article on Dead 2.0 which claims that only 2% of people use RSS.
I’d say many people don’t *need* to know what RSS (or a ‘feed’) is. They probably use it in places without knowing it.
As more publishers syndicate their feeds, more applications and clients will develop which read and present them […]
