IE And Mozz Collaborate On RSS Icon

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the working-together-to-make-the-internet-better dept.

sylverboss writes "The Microsoft Team RSS blog is reporting that IE7 is adopting the RSS icon used in Firefox. They all agreed that it's in the user's best interest to have one common icon to represent RSS and RSS-related features in a browser. The increasing collaborative efforts between the browser vendors in the last few weeks is an honest attempt to create a standard Web interface for everyone, no matter what browser is used."

    I hope MS adopt other features. IE will only get better through competing with a stronger player.

    Come on, it's a damn icon! 28x28 pixels, thats it. Don't too read much into it.

  4. They took a trip to talk about an icon? by MasterC · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...so in November, Amar and I took a visit down to Silicon Valley...

    A trip....from Washington...to California...for an icon? I wish I could make trips around the country for such trivial purposes.

    How about this instead?

    Honestly, 800+ miles to talk about a 28x28 pixel icon. God save their accounting department if they want to collaborate on something like those darn pesky standards.
