The Jimmy likes Nivi...
I came across this prescient post from Nivi a while back. He posted it in July, but I don't think I saw it until much later. In it he suggests that 'RSS is the TCP/IP packet of Web 2.0'.
When I first read it I thought it was a bit wacky. How could a syndication format be compared to a reliable digital communications protocol packet?
That made no sense? Maybe he meant UDP?
Yes, that's it. It all makes perfect sense now.
Kidding aside, his point that RSS is 'a protocol for Machine to Machine communications' really got me thinking. XML by definition was for M2M, but RSS? What does that mean?
I'm not sure if Nivi's hypothesis will turn out to be true but since his post, others that have suggested basically the same thing.
I've never met Nivi, but he seems like one smart dude. I just can't figure out why he posts in the third person? Maybe he's a Seinfeld freak?
It will be interesting to see how all this pans out.
