'"Sometimes, a simple little technology comes along that has unexpected effects. It may seem modest in itself, but the uses to which it can be put turn it into something altogether more ground-breaking.
RSS looks like being just such a technology. A favourite tool in the blogging world for some time, it has more recently been adopted by mainstream media companies as a way to distribute their products over the internet.
For online publishers, this is already becoming of more than academic interest. The Pew Internet and American Life Project, which monitors internet behaviour, estimated this month that 6m Americans now receive information through RSS aggregators. The effects could be far-reaching."
NOTE:Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
