eWeek | at | by Mike

Syndication feeds are gaining more mainstream support from portals and search engines as Microsoft ramps up a set of new RSS features.

The company's MSN unit is planning to release a beta of a Really Simple Syndication aggregation feature for users of its My MSN personalized home-page service, an MSN spokeswoman confirmed Wednesday.

The beta was rumored to be ready for release by late Wednesday, according to Weblog postings from MSN officials. But MSN officially declined to provide specifics other than to say it would come out "soon."
