    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

            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!

                              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.

                                      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!
