The Year in RSS (Feed feedback news reader RSS wizz)
Microsoft has announced that the user agent string for the next version of the RSS Platform will be “Windows-RSS-Platform/2.0 (MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0)”.The platform will be used by Internet Explorer 8 to request the user’s subscribed RSS feeds.
Jeff Nolan reminded me that NewsGator has their own widget framework. You have to sign-up and agree to terms of service, which might be too much to expect from Joe Randy, but NewsGator’s has a great reputation in the RSS enterprise market and this might be the solution for a larger company (like NBC).

NewsAlloy, a semi-popular RSS news reader, may go offline in the next few days. I received an email this morning warning me to back-up my OPML as their hosting arrangement is nearing its end. They are looking for new hosting. This might be an interesting customer purchase for a larger RSS company.
Congrats to Chip Camdem and Simone Carletti, the two newest members of the RSS Advisory Board. Both are great additions, with excellent knowledge and experience with RSS and related technologies.

I’ve been testing a few RSS widgets. The vast majority of which are completely broken. I eventually landed on SpringWidgets, which is a division of Fox and associated with MySpace (I think!). This widget seemed very customizable and worked like a charm. SpringWidgets also has a bunch of other widgets that seem pretty cool and actually work.
I just realized that SpringWidgets also does podcast. I simply injected my sports talkcast into their RSS widget and all the magic happened. Here’s a sample.
