Microsoft promoted RSS 2.0 technology

Microsoft has announced the RSS 2.0 specification, according to the company, the new version is called SSE ( Simple Sharing Extensions ). The new specification for RSS is available for free under a Creative Commons license.

Therefore, this new version allows other users to modify, add and remove as well as build other new SSE-based specifications in accordance with copyright licenses, even for business purposes.

Attractive and popular RSS is in its ability to provide simple information. In fact, RSS is basically just one-way news. Meanwhile, to solve the problem of complex information sharing, we need to provide and synchronize 2-way or even multi-dimensional information. Therefore, using RSS for synchronization purposes is no longer optional.

Microsoft's trend is to combine RSS ( Really Simple Syndication ) and OPML ( Outline Processor Markup Language ) to use the inherent capabilities of RSS and keep the "extremely simple" trend of RSS that can work well in the environment. The school provides information in the network. Combining both these ideas promises to bring many benefits to users.

SSE allows duplicating any independent data from the calendar, the list of partners to the list in the Farvorite folder . These sources can all be published as RSS feeds. Moreover, another feature of SSE is to copy data to any application that integrates SSE simply and quickly. For example, SSE can be used to share work schedules with colleagues. If your schedule is published in SSE, when you change your schedule, the work schedule on the colleague also changes accordingly and vice versa. As a result, colleagues can view your work plans and book new appointments without affecting their plans .

The idea behind SSE is to enable multidirectional data synchronization and multidirectional data synchronization across multiple applications. One thing to note is that Microsoft has just released the SSE specification, currently has no products from Microsoft and other companies that apply this technology. However, some companies are also promising to deploy their new application on SSE.

SSE is a big step forward for RSS. The ability to provide omnidirectional resources and data synchronization between different applications is truly a revolution. Who told Microsoft not to innovate? Who thinks Microsoft does not contribute to the open source community? That is a big mistake.
