Rss Anywhere

Click on the page title to display the full weblog

Radio (and other UserLand products) have a custom means for putting an RSS box anywhere in a site:

http://docserver.userland.com/xml/rss/viewRssBox

As long as the web browser looking at your site handles javascript there's the JavaScriptRssViewer:

http://publish.curry.com/rss/

Or you could learn how to code the thing yourself in Perl (less than 100 lines):

Of course in OpenWiki it's been reduced to:

<Syndicate("http://url.goes.here/feed.xml ")>

(if this were an OpenWiki, that would have been rendered as a list of headlines. And another page could then aggregate this one with "<Aggregate("RssAnywhere?")>" and get the descriptions as well, although they're in raw HTML!)

Now that weblogs are truly hitting the big time (i mean, even John Dvorak has written about them!), i expect 2002 to be the year that RssSyndication truly booms.
