RSS on the brain

Dear Reader,

I’ve been thinking a lot about RSS for the past couple of days. (I blame my sometimes friend Pete and all his talk about edge aggregators) Regardless of why, I’m beginning to see that it might actually be able to deliver on the promise XML made to us so many years ago. (Ubiquitous data interchange.)

So as I wonder, I begin to see things that should be and things that probably shouldn’t be distributed via RSS. One of the things that would be great is sport statistics. Of course you’ll never see MLB stats because they’ve claimed copyright on them. But hey, NASCAR, want to continue to kick MLB’s butt in mindshare? Publish the stats on every driver, race and series. Let those of us who enjoy writing goofy plug ins for Wordpress write a NASCAR plug in that gives the data n the format that we want it. (Of course there are probably some better uses of this info but when you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.) I’m really stretching to see how that could do anything but enhance your position even further.

Until next time,
(l)(k)(bunny)
