RE: [syndication] A wacky idea but what the heck

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

Another way we could do this is to define one or more SOAP services.

Suppose we had a "what's related" service somewhere. It could accept
The URL to an RSS feed as its argument, and return a pointer to a
static or generated OCS file as its result. It could also accept a
second argument to denote some types of relationships:

* What other feeds come from the same site?
* What other feeds are similar to this one?
* What other feeds do people who read this one read?

that's what I thought too... ;-)


Obviously, I think it would be great to let writers add that
kind of information in their RSS feeds. Once we decide
on tag names, it's basically a problem of having an
appropriate authoring tool.


One thing aggregators such as us could do is add links to
similar sources, sources that people used in conjunction with
this one on their custom page, in their aggregated feed,
or in the subscription list...
