The major advantage to RSS (or whatever variant of the syntax catches on) is that if you don't like it, don't pull it. Easy peezy.

*sigh* - Osiriscky3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0not so 1337
- mooninite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1RSS and Atom are just fads. I don't expect them to last much longer.
The only true "feed" will be when the content is pushed, instead of pulled, to the client. - 404notfound, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This throwing around of the word "hack" as a general term to mean "understand" has got to stop. A more appropriate (and more techy, seeing as how that's what all these people are trying to come off as) term is "grok."

so we meet again....:) - jervana, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i've actually seen this book. it's a hacking book. this excerpt is just the first chapter which gets pretty basic.
- psyonide, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why do people call every little trick a "hack"? This is getting ridiculous.
- Otto, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0mooninite: Ummm, they tried push once already. It didn't catch on. Mainly because with the idea of push, where the content is sent to you, you have to subscribe in some way and thus give information to every site you want to have sending you information. A pull methodology takes only slightly more bandwidth, and doesn't require subscribing to services.
RSS/Atom/feeds are not particularly special except that they're a more or less standard way to describe a bunch of content, organized by some guiding principle, like time. This allows for great flexibility and ease of adapting it to many different purposes. Also, since it's not a standard that is controlled by a major standards body, it's able to change as growth is needed; a standard by common consent, basically. Since it's XML, this makes it both forward and backward compatible fairly easily, and basically I'm saying that it is here to stay for a long, long time. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0it's a freaking GUIDE>>>

-bogey - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0i agree... it's a guide, it's not hacking. It was a really lame article btw.
