RDF Site Summary (RSS) is a lightweight multipurpose extensible metadata description and syndication format. RSS is an XML application, conforming to the W3C's RDF Specification. RSS is extensible via XML-namespace and/or RDF based modularization.

An RSS summary, at a minimum, is a document describing a "channel" consisting of URL-retrievable items. Each item consists of a title, link, and brief description. While items have traditionally been news headlines, RSS has seen much repurposing in its short existence. RSS feeds are used mainly between websites to propogate lists of information with links, but more recently personal RSS readers have been introduced.

It would be nice if the E2 developers would create some RSS feeds for the masses. Particulary -
  • Top 10 list of cool write ups
  • Top 10 list of recent write ups
  • A list of user statistics
Then I could have Trillian popup new additions like when a buddy comes online in Messenger - or the latest write ups on your own website! How sweet would that be? :)
