| Tech note |
| 2005-03-01 |
| Just a quick tech note before I go back to work — I'm far, far behind on a project I've got to demo on Friday — but I stole some code and now we have a working RSS feed. At least it works with Sharp Reader... |

| #8 Fred -- thanks. Maybe we could have separate feeds for each page (and maybe even category)? Incidentally, the 'article links on the front page' issue has reappeared. |

| #4 Cool Stuff Fred! To all, for more info see, http://my.yahoo.com/s/rss-faq.html#whatrss What is RSS? RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication." It’s a format that web sites and blogs can use to send updated headlines to you via services like My Yahoo!. My Yahoo! gathers the content you select from a variety of sources and displays it for you in one convenient location. Syndication means you don't have to visit each site individually to see what's new -- you simply scan headlines or brief article summaries and click to read the full text. That’s the "really simple" part. And it’s "really simple" for publishers to make their content accessible this way too. Because RSS is a relatively new format, not all sites currently syndicate their content in this way. However, many notable sites already do offer RSS, and every day the RSS offering grows. For example, news sites such as the Christian Science Monitor, the BBC, and CNet's News.com use RSS to syndicate news headlines and summaries. Other sites use RSS to alert customers of new products or upcoming events. |
