I retired from personal blogging in July 2008.
But you can find me over at http://blog.xero.com.
It’s pretty early but MS’s RSS may be a very big deal.
This Channel9 Video descibes their ‘a-ha’ moment.
Worth a watch. I was left with the conclusion that MS are going to gas
up the subscription model and are really thinking on all the scenario’s where
it’s relevant. When laid out it all seems obvious and huge. “The
machine does the work, you do the thinking“.
Enclosures, which enabled podcasting, just gets extended to do all sorts of
new things like photoblogs. You can see the mix between RSS and thick
client applications starting to generate rich local machine opportunities. A
nice blur between web and local storage.
Subscriptions get pulled out of applications and back to user
information.
It all makes a lot of sense and must leads to many opportunities.
