  12. RSS is more hype on The Future of RSS is Not Blogs · · Score: 2, Insightful
    RSS is more of a hype than anything else. What exactly do you understand by RSS? Its nothing but a structure that we have all agreed upon, to publish information. What makes it work is the acceptance. I can write code to extract information from a RSS document (basically XML) knowing that every RSS document will have the same structure. Now if instead of RSS it was some comma seperated file that we all accepted as the standard, my scripts will work in similar fashion. Instead of the title tag my script will look for the first value in each line. Instead of description tag my script will look for the second value in each line. So RSS is nothing more than a standard that we all have accepted.

    Please dont get me wrong. As the author of Newster.net (yeah yeah.. this is shameless advertising) I really appreciate the establishment of such a standard. The standard is what makes the site work. My point is that RSS is very simple and sweet, and should be perceived and interpreted that way. Its a standard and not rocket science...

  13. We can go on and on... on Atom 1.0 vs RSS 2.0 · · Score: 1
    We can go on and on about the Atom and RSS war. But let me introduce you to something that uses the power of both. Please note that I'm not advertising my site.. I'm talking about Newster.net only because it is very relevant to this discussion.

    Newster is aggregatates news from many websites that publish them in RSS. Once the news bits are in the database it uses the ATOM API to post it to the blog. And then it republishes it in ATOM (because its a blogger service). So what we have here is a website that publishes a new news every 15 minutes. No humans here.. and the cool thing is that RSS gets converted to ATOM. Its very easy to write such scripts... so why even fight??

  14. Re:Are you the pot or the kettle? on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 1
    Why is this (parent post) very sensible post modded as Flamebait and all the actually flamebaits preceding it modded as funny? Something is wrong.

    I guess you voiced your opinion in a wrong forum where I have observed that people are blindly biased based on no rationale. And yes.. over here its also fashionable to bash Microsoft. These are people who didn't get enough attention and hugs as kids (is there a scientific term for this?)

  17. Next thing you know... on Google Launches Google Sitemaps · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And the next thing you know will be Google launching specs on web design and then content. Who will comply? well.. anybody who wishes to be indexed by Google. That is 100% of the website owners. And thus Google will control the design, content and other things... HELP... they are taking over the internet

    This might be marked as troll... but think about it. Isnt it possible?

  24. PowerPC vs Intel on The Scoop on the Xbox 360's Embedded OS? · · Score: 3, Interesting
