RSS history
RSS is a format that describes Internet content, which is the first designed by Netscape for distributing content on My.Netscape.com. But Netscape later worse, only a 0.9 version was released, and eventually did not release a formal RSS specification.
IE 4 browser has a fun feature when I just pushed, that is, news channel. The function of this news channel is similar to the news channel launched by Netscape. Microsoft launched the CDF (Channel Definition Format) data specifications that supported ie IE, Microsoft was very close to RSS. Microsoft attempts to use news channels to turn "push" technology into mainstream and compete with Netscape. However, it is expected that "push" technology did not find the right business model from beginning to end, and it is also increasingly able to show its own advantages in place with all kinds of network applications. The news channel finally disappeared in the subsequent version of IE.
The news channel has entered the trough, but the RSS is not abandoned by the industry. In the past two years, blogs (Blog) has gradually become the most popular new topics on the Internet from a professional group. RSS also has the opportunity to become the most basic method describing the BLOG theme and update information. RSS This technology is taken over by the famous Blogger's founder Dave Winner.
USERLAND continues to develop new versions to adapt to new web applications. New web applications are blog. After Dave Wenna's efforts, RSS upgraded to version 0.91, then reached 0.92 version, and then applied in various BLOG tools and was supported by many professional news sites.
In a wide range of applications, many professionals recognize that they need to organize the RSS standards, making it a recognized standard. A joint team redefines RSS, released RSS 1.0, and defines RSS as "RDF Site Summary". This work does not communicate effectively with Dave Wenna, and Daifei does not recognize RSS 1.0, insisting on further developing RSS subsequent versions in their direction. In September 2002, Dafu upgraded RSS alone to version 2.0, which is completely brand new mode, without any RSS 1.0 shadow. The RSS thus started to differentiate the RSS 0.9X / 2.0 and RSS 1.0 two camps, which caused extensive debate in professionals.
The debate has been present today. Let a more and more popular data format become an open standard, or is defined and controlled by a company, it has become a controversial focus. Dave Wenna did not argue for himself, his point of view is that RSS also needs further development and requires a more clear definition of professionals. However, this may not eliminate people's concerns about RSS "exclusive by a business company".
The current RSS reader can generally support RSS 0.9x / 2.0 and RSS 1.0 format.
