The Mission of RSS


Jon Udell:

2. Use the name RSS to denote the interoperable CORE
3. Have optional namespaces in the RSS core for basic/general/ad-hoc metadata extension.

RSS 2 momentum


My RSS 2 feed has been tested on the following news aggregators: Radio, AmphetaDesk, Blagg, NewZ Crawler, Aggie, and Mark Pilgrim's Ultra-liberal RSS Parser.
