Proposed Extensions To RSS To Share Calendars And Other Things

I just read the latest post from Ray Ozzie at Microsoft. He and his group are proposing a new addition to the RSS protocol called SSE (Simple Sharing Extensions) to allow asynchronous sharing of data between multiple sources. What does this mean in ENGLISH???? -->

It means when this is implemented RSS can be extended to synchronize calendars, address lists, task lists, project plans or anything else that needs multiple source updates from ANY application that supports the standard. Microsoft is releasing this under the Creative Commons License, so it will be freely available to all. This is awesome! All the geeky details are here.

This is yet another example of how SUBSCRIBE is the next evolutionary step on the internet
