Buzz words like newsfeed, aggregate news reader, RSS, XML, ATOM — all describe innovative means and ways to dish up news or editorial content without all of the fluff. Internet users want their information direct and fast and these new tools usher in a new way to cut to the chase. Reminds me of the early minimalist world wide web when ALL web pages had gray backgrounds, black text and blue underlined links. Folks are returning to the basics. While web page presentation graphics, flash, and animation enhance the visual appeal, XML feed will save bandwidth. The cool factor however is that not only can Joe NetCitizen be published, he can become syndicated! Already, portals like bloglines.com and a href=”http://my.yahoo.com”>my.yahoo.com can present these syndicated feeds by subscription. Ultimately, your email client will be enabled. What began with the blogging community will mature with Google, Amazon, Mozilla, and Microsoft.
