Syndication, aggregation, rah rah rah

Another Many-to-Many post by Ross Mayfield: He notes Jason Kottke’s post titled “I think we should probably stop calling [RSS/Atom] syndication”. Feeding, threading, and aggregation are all attractive features of RSS, but they’re not necessarily syndicating. However, says Mayfield, “I’m not brave enough to venture a new term for Syndication, but unless one is found, there is a lot of explaining to do.”
