More TeleInterActivity from Microsoft
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
| Categories: Computers and Internet, Open Source, RSS, Syndication As presaged by Dave Winer yesterday and announced by him today, Ray Ozzie, now at Microsoft, has introduced Simple Sharing Extensions as a new XML nameSpace using RSS and OPML to allow lists of items, and outlines to interactively exchange their information. Marc Canter also hinted at this development in his guest piece for the AlwaysOn Network "Breaking the Web Wide Open".
I believe that this is going to be a tremendously important development, on several levels.
- It does more to validate Microsofts new software as a service agenda, and demonstrates more about open standards and open APIs than the previous Microsoft demos; as much because of the use of a CreativeCommons license as for opening up synchronization among disparate applications and services like calendar, contacts, events, reading lists, and more, and so much more.
- Though that is secondary to the impact this will have on bringing many of the promises of Web 2.0 to fruition.
- The adoption of the SSE standard will allow the realization of personal Identity management and AttentionTrust.
- We'll see new levels of groupware and enabling of distributed workgroups.
- This is one more, and very powerful, piece of the puzzle to enable the TeleInterActive Lifestyle™
- We're all going to have a lot of fun with this.
You can also find more information in the SSE FAQ. Don Dodge has a well-writtne piece on SSE. There's an interesting preview on the AttentionTrust Blog, as well.
Update: Mike Arrington says
"New companies will be built on the back of SSE."
-- Michael Arrington "COOL - SSE turns RSS bidirectional"
Update 2: Alex Barnett has a good list of reactions to the SSE in his post, "Microsoft proposal: Simple Sharing Extensions for RSS and OPML".
