Outlook "12" to include RSS aggregator
ENT News | at | by Mike
Users of Microsoft's upcoming Outlook "12" will be able to monitor Really Simply Syndication feeds from within the e-mail client, according to a Microsoft official's Weblog.
RSS is an XML-based syndication protocol that has been gaining in popularity in recent years as more news sites add feeds to send information updates to subscribers and with the explosion of Weblog usage.
Outlook doesn't currently have its own RSS aggregator and reader. So third-party developers have come out with an array of readers, including Outlook plugins like NewsGator, Attensa and IntraVnews, which let users access RSS feeds from within Microsoft's e-mail client.
