RSS Feeds

Why so much hype about RSS feeds lately? Is it because of Trillian's support? Do you know a good RSS feed? I am thinking about adding a "RSS browser" to Desktop Bob, but I couldn't find any good RSS feed, nor nothing about the interval they should be updated (each day, each hour, each 10 minutes, or bandwidth limit :eek: ) Q261186 - Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music

Well, if (like me) you have a large set of sites that you like to browse every morning during your "wake me up" coffee period, then RSS feeds (combined with a good aggregator) are extremely useful. It's just another information management tool in an age of information overload *shrug* I say add it to Desktop Bob and make it have a variable update interval :-) ASP.NET can never fail as working with it is like fitting bras to supermodels - it's one pleasure after the next - David Wulff

They are an old protocol for feeding news based on a XML. You can see a simple one here: http://freshmeat.net/backend/fm.rdf[^] It would be cool adding support to some kind of news feed to Desktop Bob, but I will not add support to a protocol that only gives uninteresting news...

And Trillian pro's RSS implementation is really handy, as you get a little MSN messenger style popup whenever a new story is posted onto any of the feeds it's monitoring. Perfect for slashdot fp trolls :-D But lots of sites do offer rss feeds (such as slashdot, the register, bbc news) so you should be able to find feeds for anything that interests you. Another usage would be if you run a portal kind of site, you could allow users to enter their own feed addresses, and thus display the news that they're interested in on your front page -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Joel has a bit on RSS in his recent postings, http://www.joelonsoftware.com/news/20021021.html[^] Michael "I've died for a living in the movies and tv. But the hardest thing I'll ever do is watch my leading ladies, Kiss some other guy while I'm bandaging my knee." -- The Unknown Stuntman

I think the "replacement" for this kind of thing is what Web Services are all about. You make an XML request and get an XML response. It's the same thing... I think.

Conditional HTTP GET to prevent waste of bandwidth: http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/archives/001132.html[^] Have fun :-) Cheers,Joao Vaz And if your dream is to care for your family, to put food on the table, to provide them with an education and a good home, then maybe suffering through an endless, pointless, boring job will seem to have purpose. And you will realize how even a rock can change the world, simply by remaining obstinately stationary.-Shog9

Thanks, I was reading this at this minute! I found a link on Joel's site by suggestion of Michael Butler. How didn't I think of it first? The solution is so simple... Q261186 - Computer Randomly Plays Classical Music

Web services are more versatile, but less easily used. When you grab an RSS feed, you know exactly what format to expect, so you can simply do a http get of a file, process the result, and display, without having to have any knowledge about what site you're grabbing from -- Help me! I'm turning into a grapefruit!

Now that's just plain cool. Thanks!

I think RSS are a class of Web Service that uses existing HTTP infrastructure rather than new layers on top. Read Roy Fielding'sDissertation for some better info. Peter Drayton recently did a presentation on bringing the Web Services camps together with RESTful SOAP. -Brian
