web loggings going back to 1997, with various gaps and hiatuses (hiati?), punctuating by periods of manic blogging.


Autosubscribe: protocol or MIME-type approach

September 15, 2003 · Syndication

Pete Hopkins and other are debating the best way to enable newsreaders (aggregators) to autosubscribe to RSS feeds directly from the browser. Some, like Pete, prefer the idea of a new news:// protocol for web browsers. The other favored approach is to specify a new MIME type.
I’m saying, let’s do both and get at least one approach implemented in each newsreader.

Proposed aggregator spec (for feed://) Why not Amazon blogs?
