In late 2005,
Windows 7 Key, Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie was championing a new technology referred to as RSS Easy Sharing Extensions (SSE).Because then, there have already been virtually no public updates from Ozzie or anyone else at Microsoft on what was taking place with SSE. Till this week, that is.At an invitation-only event at Microsoft, recognized as Mix-N-Mash, Microsoft officials discussed what has turn out to be of SSE. LiveSide.Net, which is at the event, has a good summary. LiveSide stated:“Microsoft announced a new Windows Live service that enables the sharing of data through standard web feeds such as RSS and Atom: FeedSync. The specification is now available to developers from under a Creative Commons License.”As LiveSide explained:“What makes the FeedSync specification useful is that it as well as enabling data inputs from multiple devices/locations in the same time, it is designed to resolve any conflicts that may come about as a result.”The newly named FeedSync service is now in beta and is a Microsoft Live Labs project. (LiveLabs is the Microsoft organization comprised of Microsoft Researchers and Windows Live services experts.)Everyone interested in giving the newest Microsoft Live service a try? To what kinds of uses could you putFeedSync?
