Evolution Of RSS

Posted by krow on Friday May 4, 2001 @11:55AM from the beat-the-brat-with-a-baseball-bat dept.

If you are not familiar with RSS, and you work with web content and publishing, you should be. Webreference has an article covering the details and history of RSS. This week's temporary loss of the DTD that Netscape was hosting has pushed RSS from a behind the scenes tool, and into the common pool of buzzwords. While RSS may appear new to some peple it has been around for a couple of years. If you are a user with an account and you personalize your Slashboxes, you are deciding which RSS feeds you would like to display (not all slashboxes are RSS, but most are).

On a related note, Web Reference really does some fine stuff. Of particular note is the HierMenu script, which uses DHTML to simulate pulldown menus (it works in Netscape v4+, IE v4+, and even Mozilla). It's not Free, but still free. Major websites (such as Merrill Lynch and Trilogy Software) use the script all the time.
