Microsoft plans to announce on Friday in the US that it is expanding its support for the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) Web publishing standard.
One of the oldest universities in the US has hopped on the Internet's hottest new trend, hiring software developer Dave Winer to help get students and faculty blogging.
As commercial interests have increasingly dominated the Internet, Web logs have come to represent a bastion of individual expression and pure democracy for millions of bloggers.
Microsoft has filed for two patents covering technology used to organise and read syndicated Web feeds, such as those delivered via the widely used Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, family of formats.
In an attempt to lasso support from Google, a key proponent of the syndication format RSS has proposed that it merge with its challenger under the auspices of an Internet standards body.
Amazon engineer DeWitt Clinton's ringing endorsement of Atom over RSS as the XML flavour of choice for syndicated feed content for discerning geeks made headlines yesterday, although the points he makes have been made before.
A U-turn by Microsoft on abbreviating Web logs may portend a looming bandwidth crunch.
The popular Web syndication's brand of flexibility promises to make life difficult for all those attempting to bring order to the natural chaos that defines the Internet.
A growing roster of de facto standards is testing the need for bureaucratic agencies and design-by-committee technologies.
