Killer Web Services App: Bus Monster
Thursday, June 23, 2005 4:24 PM

The Case for Real Syndication
Monday, November 08, 2004 1:24 PM
The problem with web log syndication formats is that they are rarely used for syndication. When a friend of mine first attempted to sell blogging to me his sales pitch included a description of RSS XML feeds. The analogy he used was that of the Associated Press news wire.

Display an Exchange Public Folder in a SharePoint Web Part

xCalendar
Tuesday, March 09, 2004 5:41 PM
Ray Ozzie of Groove points out a great idea in his September 2003 entry : xCal. An XML equivalent to iCal that is supported by Outlook and behaves like RSS . The IETF has an XML DTD for iCalendar but it hasn't taken off like the world Ray describes where he can syndicate his beloved Celtics calendar. I think we should encourage this to spread like RSS has. Read More...
