Controversial? not just I, but many think that RSS will be the little torch that gets us through the darkness of things to come.
RSS provides a platform on which to build. RDF creators would have of course loved for RDF to be as widespread.
I have just started (rather late, and rather early), depending on how you look at it, getting into some RDF.
Started last night, reading the specs (skimming). It is going to take a while to find my way around. And I can't dedicate as much time as I'd like. But will have something to say about it in a while.
For now though, we have RSS (or for a long time still)
RSS is of course limited to its initial and original purpose, so RSS Extensions are how we can build on top of it.
I have put up two small (contact) - specs (crss) , which I intend to enhance.
Already I have some clients, wanting to add the CRSS spec to their sites, because it offers them a little more of a company feel.
One thing those who have given me feedback already like about it, is that the disclaimer is built into the feed, rather than just written on your website in html (which if they read with a feedreader, wont see at all. At least with CRSS, a feed reader can add it to the user interface so readers get it.
So if it helps get more companies blogging, that will be good.
If you would like to help out by suggesting things to go in or out, I want to solidify it sooner rather than later, you can mail me: j o n a t h a n A-T. lucid ocean . com
I have added the crss extension to this feed as it currently stands in its .2 beta form.
