From Creating a feed syndication platform at Microsoft
Starting next week I will join Microsoft's Windows Live division to create a new product team around syndication technologies such as RSS and Atom.
Too bad he did not join us: he did a great job at ETech presenting the Google Reader Platform and API.
I do not believe we have even begun to tap into the power of feeds as a platform and the possibilities that exist if we mine this data, connect users, and add new layers of personalization and social sharing. These are just some of the reasons I am excited to build something new and continue to change how the world can access new information as it happens.
Neither do I, and this seems a worthy goal: so far what I've seen coming from the Microsoft RSS team is a pretty good platform, and I hope they will keep it open as usage of feed grows. Good luck in your new job Niall.
