Web 2.0: RSS Workshop
I’m going to try to blog my Web 2.0 Sessions. To start, here’s some
notes form the workshop on RSS and Syndication:
- Lots of discussion around publishers working with RSS, monetizing
feeds, tracking users with cookies, etc. Publishers are really into
tracking readers so they can tell their advertisers how many readers
they have -
Big players talking about routing everything through their services as a
solution - Steve Gillmor: attention.xml will let big RSS services work together
- Talk about Ebay, Craigslist and buyers finding sellers. Current
architectures are centralized - people are thinking about solving the
same problems with distributed architectures. - “We’re Still in the Kum-ba-ya period of blogging” - bloggers aren’t
trying to game the system by lying about what they’re really writing
about (other than comment spam). Systems for tagging are potentially
open for abuse.
