The Week of RSS
Posted by Rod in Old-blog-archives at 8:47 pm on Wednesday, 29 June 2005

This is turning out to be a huge week for RSS as we move to a new Subscription based consumption model.  I don’t think I even used the word enclosure before this week.

Next up is Apples iTunes with their podcast features.

But, some are extending RSS with their own tags rather than use the more standard existing tags in RSS2.0

Apple Embraces and Extends RSS with iTunes 4.9

So developers of RSS Consuming and Aggregating technologies (like NewsGator, SauceReader, SharpReader etc) will have to keep updating their applications to respond to all the new and possibly conflicting tabs.  Eeeek, this might be worse than web development and supporting various browser implementations of HTML.
