That’s right. Not only is there an RSS Day, apparently it’s today. I had no idea.

Like Khaled, it seems pretty unbelievable to me that there are so many people who still aren’t utilizing RSS. Get with it. Seriously.

If you’re looking for a way to celebrate, you could always subscribe to my RSS feed.

RSS is older than most people think. Before RSS there were several attempts at syndication standards that didn’t quite seem to cut it — or at least didn’t have enough of a following to cut it. However, restructuring the presentation layer of web data for other uses is obviously nothing new.

Wikipedia suggests it goes back to 1995, when Ramanathan V. Guha and others in Apple Computer’s Advanced Technology Group developed the Meta Content Framework.

Blah blah…

If you really don’t know, CommonCraft is always there for you.

Happy RSS Day!
