Like radio in the 1930s and TV in the '50s, blogs and syndicated news feeds over the Web represent today's hot new medium.
This new, expanded edition offers the only complete, up-to-date reference to the latest specifications and tools of these competing technologies. This 2nd Edition is ideal for web developers and experienced bloggers who want to offer XML-based feeds of their content, as well as news junkies who wish to utilize the content that other people syndicate. Along with the new material on Atom, author Ben Hammersley has meticulously revised the entire text to explain the nuances of metadata interpretation, different forms of content syndication, and the increasing use of web services in this field. Also included is detailed information about how to use some of the most popular RSS news aggregators on the market.
