RE: [syndication] Moreover + RSS?

["Jeff Barr" <jeff@vertexdev.com>]

You are right, the author does strongly suggest that Moreover invented
RSS. Perhaps you can point him to the new FAQ and enlighten him.

I know for sure that Moreover did not support RSS in the beginning.
They started with a proprietary format that began with a <moreovernews>
tag. I can still read it in Headline Viewer. Here is a single <article>
tag  in their format:

   <article id="_19255689">
      <url>http://c.moreover.com/click/here.pl?x19255688</url>
      <headline_text>For Sweet Mister, growing up is hard to
do</headline_text>
      <source>Boston Globe</source>
      <media_type>text</media_type>
      <cluster>Consumer: book reviews</cluster>
      <tagline/>

Subject: [syndication] Moreover + RSS?


A quote from recent a ClickZ article suggests Moreover created RSS:

http://clickz.com/article/cz.3921.html

"Moreover has taught the rest of us a lot...It has also made its tagging
technology, RSS (Rich Site Summary), the de facto standard for content
syndication."

Also about the FAQ, I'll be taking all the comments given and getting the
doc finished at the weekend.  Just been busy all week!  Thanks to everyone
that wrote.
