- 14 Tips for Making the Most of Feeds
- by Andrew Girdwood. SEarch Engine Watch, February 21, 2011. "As a busy digital marketer, I live or die by feeds. Feeds keep me up to date and push my content, fast. And as a blogger, I similarly depend on feeds to keep me informed and spread influence. To be successful you need to be more than simply informed -- you need to be a thought leader and agenda-setter rather than another voice in the echo chamber. But feeds are at a disadvantage on this front, as a headline that appears on a feed must have already been written about..."

- How to Monitor Google Sidewiki Comments
- by Darren Slatten. SEO mofo, November 16, 2009. "... Google Sidewiki Data API - If there's one thing Google loves, it's structured data. So it's no surprise that they've made Sidewiki data available through their nifty Google Data API. To Web developers and nerds, that means it's possible to create web applications and mashups that use Sidewiki data to perform allegedly-useful functions. To apes like you, it means you can type a super-special custom URL into your browser, and Google will give you a page of XML content that contains all the Sidewiki comments for your entire domain. 'What do I do with this XML data', you ask? You subscribe to it!..."

- Creating Dynamic RSS Feeds with Ajax
- By Lee Underwood. Webreference.com, Revised: September 2, 2008. "RSS has been around for quite awhile now. (The acronym stands for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary," depending on who promotes it.) It's great for publishing news feeds, comments and other types of information.

- Legal liability for republishing others' RSS feed content which breaches third party rights
- by Richard Best. In Development, May 9, 2008. "As I have noted elsewhere, UK-based Out-law has recently reported, in one of its excellent legal podcasts, on recent cases in France in which the courts have held that website operators who republished RSS feed content onto their sites were legally responsible themselves as publishers of what transpired to be posts that were invasive of certain third parties' privacy rights. The fact that, due to the nature of the RSS parsing technology, their websites were automatically updated when the incoming feeds were updated was no excuse. In other words, the French courts disagreed with the website operators' argument that they exercised no editorial control over the publications..."
