Forbes on RSS

Publication date: December 24, 2004

Forbes has a brief article about Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds changing the business landscape.

Some inaccuracies in the article:

“Instead of searching for information, you get RSS to push it to you.” RSS is a pull technology, not push. A user requests the data and is sent a response.

“Technorati.com is now monitoring more than 5 million RSS-enabled blogs.” Technorati claims to watch over 5.2 million weblogs, but Technorati builds its database primarily by parsing Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Technorati is not a RSS-based searcher as the article claims.
