Tucu on RSS

Tucu, alias Alejandro "Portlet" Abdelnur never wanted to blog, but gave it a try when blogs.sun.com was launched.

I'm glad he did: his first post Syndication feeds hell is very well thought out.

It's like the approach has been "It would be nice if when I post a weblog the following happens" instead of being "It would be nice if I can do the following when posting a weblog".

We've been working together on a RSS-Atom-Syndication related project for a few months (more about this soon :-) and he's discovered the oddities of these specs with no schema and weird protocols that are implemented differently by each implementation :-)

The artifact that captures the best this webloggish mentality of "would it be cool if it did this?" is the incredible Lazyweb. It sounds like a joke at first sight but the mechanism is very interesting and I can see some adaptations of this idea when corporate blogging has gone mainstream and people are used to blogs, trackbacks and other features: forget about polls, questionnaires. The product manager of tomorrow will just organize and prioritize a big Syndication feed from his product's Lazyweb's instance.
