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!

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

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.

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!

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
