Dave Winer responds to Yahoo search in RSS and notes the plusses of pubsub.
While at Steve`s site, I noticed a post about
Yahoo search and RSS. First let me say, good job
Yahoo! I love the way you guys are embracing RSS.
Now, here`s a way to provide an even more useful
feed version of a search. Only return things that
you found in the last xxx days. RSS is good at
providing news, most aggregators do a poor job
with `feeds` that don`t contain news. This is why
services like PubSub are so useful, they age
their database, it only contains new stuff.
That`s a good fit for RSS. We have another format
that`s great for stuff that doesn`t change often,
timeless stuff. You`ll be hearing more about that
sooon.
