Perhaps the most explosive technological trend over the past two years has been
blogging. As a matter of fact, it's been reported that the number of blogs during
that time has grown from 100,000 to 4.8 million-with no end to this growth in
sight.
What's the technology that makes blogging tick? The answer is RSS--a format
that allows bloggers to offer XML-based feeds of their content. It's also the
same technology that's incorporated into the websites of media outlets so they
can offer material (headlines, links, articles, etc.) syndicated by other sites.
As the main technology behind this rapidly growing field of content syndication,
RSS is constantly evolving to keep pace with worldwide demand. That's where
Developing Feeds with RSS and Atom, 2nd Edition steps in. It provides bloggers,
web developers, and programmers with a thorough explanation of syndication in
general and the most popular technologies used to develop feeds.
This book not only highlights all the new features of RSS 2.0-the most recent
RSS specification-but also offers complete coverage of its close second in the
XML-feed arena, Atom. The book has been exhaustively revised to explain:
- metadata interpretation
- the different forms of content syndication
- the increasing use of web services
- how to use popular RSS news aggregators on the market
After an introduction that examines Internet content syndication in general
(its purpose, limitations, and traditions), this step-by-step guide tackles
various RSS and Atom vocabularies, as well as techniques for applying syndication
to problems beyond news feeds. Most importantly, it gives you a firm handle
on how to create your own feeds, and consume or combine other feeds.
If you're interested in producing your own content feed, Developing Feeds with
RSS and Atom is the one book you'll want in hand.

To this day, he doesn't know which was worse.
