During this day, as long as the Silicon Valley is turning around, he will not hear the vocabulary of RSS. Even if there is no understanding of this vocabulary, it hopes
In this technological investment, establishing an RSS-related enterprise or integrated RSS technology in their products. Askjeeves has just acquired bloglines in two weeks, and people have made people more interest in RSS.
The core concept of RSS is not new. The promotion technology was once popular in the mid-1990s and produced many companies such as Pointcast, Marimba. Different is that RSS is widely widely widely used, which has spawned many new products and services.
History is not a long time, and the meaning of RSS is "real simple syndication), which is a combination of three words first letters. It is an information organization that enables it to be understood by a computer.
It used to display changes in the gateway to the gateway. The blog has been transformed to it, making it suitable for what they write, so that the content can be easier to see by more users. If I enable this article to be read by the computer, you don't have to log in to VENTUREBLOG every day to see if we update the content. Because we used RSS, this work will be completed by a computer. Even on the same web page, the computer can also distinguish between different articles and tell you if there are new articles. Computers can send an e-mail to the mailbox or create a web page containing content with interest. RSS has expanded to the news site, such as MSNBC and CNN. Like Netflix and other services also create new information and suggestions using RSS.
Make the content can be read by the computer to promote many new services and tools to help users browse the changing content on the Internet. There are many tools and services that have been developed.
The status quo of RSS The development of RSS is the same as WWW: content, browser, infrastructure, medium, and finally business.
There are some academic sites on the Web, programmers can use them to develop browsers, the most popular MOSAIC finally became the basis of the net viewer, and Microsoft also has successfully IE the IE browser, below management All content needed, search, content production, management, security, personalization, etc., and the birth of Altavista, Excite, Yahoo, and many other Internet companies. The introduction of the media site is too late, and it is commercial.
Although the development of the Web is not like this such rule, the WEB commercial development trajectory is like this. RSS will also experience the same consortium, because of the experience of developing Web, it may be much faster. The development of RSS is also divided into similar stages:
Browser (RSS Reading Software): With the popularity of RSS, technicians have developed a series of reading software. They enable users to specify the desired content, and read software will automatically get these contents for users. At present, there are many RSS reading software, such as You Subscribe, Newsgator, Intravnews, SharpReade, NetNewswire, Bloglines, My Yahoo, etc.
Infrastructure: We are starting to develop a problem that there are too many RSS content, including:
· RSS search engine: Technorati, Feedster, etc.
· RSS content portal: Technorati, FeedDemon, Bloglines, Syndic8, DEL.IO.US, Blogdex, etc.
· Content management and services: Six Apart, Blogger, Feedburner, etc.
This area also needs to develop some interesting services, including personalized, secure, and other tools related to RSS. At present, infrastructure is a field that is mostly concerned by venture capitalists. When venture investors say they are studying RSS, they refer to infrastructure. Media: Media will develop with the development of reading software. Some existing reading software has supported RSS Feeds, and the blog has created many stars.
Business: Since the RSS is still in the infrastructure phase, the business and business concepts ━━ Insert an advertisement or launch of the RSS service in RSS feed, just started to appear. Some companies have started providing consumer business services, such as Dulance, is providing price search results RSS feed, and users can keep paying close attention to the price changes. Other companies explore the combination of enterprise data or use RSS as a corporate communication standard.
RSS's future
Unlike the initial promotion technology, the open RSS standard has been widely popular. Like the Web, this will result in a variety of interesting RSS functions that extend the RSS application in different directions.
One direction is related to the automatic task of automatically. With the emergence of more RSS websites, users' computer may understand the issues such as "Tell me when to appear related to Nos." Although this is similar to the storage search on Google, the RSS service is more real time to make it more valuable.
Another direction is the application of RSS in the enterprise. Imagine replacing Exchange in the enterprise using the interlocking RSS feed group, each Outlook user receives the schedule, contacts, and other information they share, or sharing their schedule with other users.
Exploration on RSS applications will stimulate new RSS corporate boom. Existing business solutions can use RSS as a communication mechanism that is not limited to sharing Exchange servers, but also realizes standardization of information sharing. This also achieves the initial interoperability commitment of XML.
However, the development of RSS is progressive rather than revolutionary. It is not a new Internet, it is just an improvement in the existing Internet. It will of course bring some big and interesting opportunities, which will become a tool integrated into the existing platform.
The future winners will appear in existing manufacturers, in which the infrastructure and business areas will have more winners. Although RSS is developing rapidly, it will be shocked if there is a large-scale independent company. If RSS can enter the mainstream market, current vendors will be acquired. We will also get a lot of new services and content
