RSS for content sharing

• Lightweight XML format for sharing content
• Ties together conversations – allows for review of many resources
• Rich Site Summary, Really Simple Syndication
• Atom is alternative format
• Pull, rather than push
• Trackback is subset (but is prone to same abuse as email) – basically “I said this about what you said”

Aggregators - helps organize RSS feeds from various sites
