Google Adds RSS Feed Option to News
Google has reversed its initial snub of the RSS format, enabling users for the first time to add Really Simple Syndication feeds from Google News.
RSS and Atom provide a similar format for syndicating Web content in XML feeds to other sites and aggregation software called readers. The formats grew in popularity with the rise of blogging in recent years, but their rise has been marked by warring among the formats' relevant loyalists.
Both Yahoo Inc. and Microsoft Corp.'s MSN division have recently made moves toward RSS. MSN has started testing a Web-based RSS aggregator, while Yahoo has expanded into mobile access to the news feeds gathered on its My Yahoo personalized home page service.
Other major players such as Ask Jeeves have feeds from news as well. With all this competition jumping onto RSS, it was high time for Google to do the same.
