MediaPost discovers RSS!
I guess that makes us legitimate, LOL. For those familiar with XML syndication, there's nothing new here. But the two articles are an excellent primer for the uneducated. (note Dave Winer's comment below)

RSS 101: XML Syndication Ramps Up
RSS Offers Targeted Ad Opportunities

Now let's see if the folks at MediaPost will offer their rich content via RSS. That's the real test of whether one "gets it" or not.

I did a review of this article. Basically it's nice that they noticed RSS, but the story is quite confused and inaccurate.

I don't believe there's a single fact wrong, and it read reasonably clearly to me. I found it refreshing to see a piece acknowledging that syndication doesn't end at RSS.
