Quest For Common Syndication
Under normal circumstances this would be a very scary
propositon - weblogs have reached hype status, and this means 800
pound gorillas are approaching the patch!. Why should we create our
own blogsphere FUD.
Well things work differently in the blogspehere, and
it leads to wonderful opportunities for like minded individuals to
put their vast array of skills to constructive use. My hunch is
that this effort -syndication format standardization- will be
sorted out quickly, and even act as a showcase for the
collaborative prowess of Blogs and Wikis. Take a look at the blog
snippet below (I urge you to follow the Wiki link).
Sam Ruby is
leading an effort to create a new weblog format and API.
There's a Wiki
that's open for all to contribute to, and an impressive list of people who
support the work. [via Scripting News]
I hope this is one of many similar efforts that usher
in the next phase of the Web (the Semantic one of course!).
