RSS is smartest technology for 2006: Business 2.0

RSS is the smartest technology of 2006, per an article in Business 2.0.

At long last, really simple syndication, or RSS, came into its own. Developed by Silicon Valley technologist Dave Winer, RSS makes it easy for popular sites such as CNN, Reuters, and Yahoo — and tens of thousands of bloggers — to distribute online text, audio, and video worldwide. RSS has been around since 1997, but it got a big boost in the past year as Microsoft announced plans to integrate it into Windows, letting RSS do for online media what the Web did for the Internet.

If you ain’t figured out how to use RSS, 2006 is the year to do it. You’ll kill off information overload and begin the network for marketing like never before.
