RSS Cloud enabled feed

September 14th, 2009 Posted in Portal

From RSSCloud.org:

In the early days of RSS, we had the idea that instantaneous updates would be the next step.

That was 2001. It took a little longer than we thought, but now with “realtime” as the Next Big Thing, it’s time to reboot all that stuff.

A week or so ago, all wordpress.com blogs became ‘cloud enabled’. At it’s most basic, this means adding an extra tag into their RSS feeds. It’s important because of new tools like Dave Winer’s River2 aggregator, that will collect your RSS feeds in real time. As opposed to waiting for your users / readers / aggregators to poll your sites.

As mentioned in Dave’s Post, you can use the new rssCloud plug-in on any Wordpress blog that you host and it adds a cloud element to your feed and handles notifications for subscribers.

So thats what I’ve done….
