RSS:

RSS:: "Microsoft, lists, RSS and me
Here's a preview of some RSS-related news coming later this week at Gnomedex.

I assumed (incorrectly) that this group was interested in reading and writing lists of browser bookmarks in RSS. But I found out, when I visited Microsoft in April, that while this is one of the applications they were considering, they were actually thinking bigger.

The first clue that something weird was happening at Microsoft around RSS was when Sean Lyndersay picked me up for dinner on the first night of my visit. I asked what part of Microsoft he worked for. He said he was on the RSS Team. I gulped. You mean there's an RSS Team at Microsoft? Yeah there is."
