RSSRise of Syndication in the Enterprise
Real simple syndication, better known as RSS, is moving from weblogs to the Fortune 500. The technology, designed to let users subscribe to blog newsfeeds, is being co-opted by corporations to keep employees and customers informed — alerting systems administrators when a server goes down, for instance, or sending lists of recent credit card purchases to a customer's Treo.
