Recently, Dave Winer pointed out that there’s a problem in how people go about subscribing to to RSS feeds, and made a proposal to address it. Dave’s idea—essentially One Great Big subscription dispatcher—should work, near as I can tell, so any problems would be around business and politics, not technology. John Robb does some more thinking, as does P hil Windley. If we can’t find the business creativity, Atom has another solution that RSS could maybe borrow...

I've thought about Brent's proposed compromise, and to borrow a phrase that is a favorite of Tim Bray, I think that there is a way that 80% of the value can be obtained with 20% of the effort.  Is there really a market requirement to be selectively pedantic on a feed by feed basis? ...

We've all seen the hockey-stick curve that shows the blogosphere growing like gangbusters. But I haven't seen much on subscription trends, so I took a look at the public information available in Bloglines. For a given feed you can ask Bloglines to show not just the count of subscribers, but also -- for the "public" subscribers who allow this information to be shown -- their usernames and the dates when they began subscribing. ...

Sam Ruby proposes that aggregators validate on subscription, and I have to confess that this makes more sense than my stated position of req uiring Atom feeds to be well-formed.

What Sam suggests is that aggregators such as FeedDemon inform of validation errors only when first subscribing to a feed. After informing the user of the fact that these errors might affect how the feed displays, the aggregator should continue to subscribe and not show any further indication that the feed is invalid. The hope is that this would gently persuade feed creators to pay attention to validation problems without stopping end users from reading invalid feeds.

After accepting that Sam's idea makes more sense than my own (which took all of two minutes!), I started coding this into FeedDemon. When a user subscribes to a feed, FeedDemon checks it for well-formedness, and if any problems are found the dialog shown below is displayed:

Clicking the "Details" button shows the text of the validation error, and a link to the online Feed Validator provides a way for authors to check the feed for additional problems.

My hope is to include this in the next build of FeedDemon. As always, I'm open to other suggestions, so please post a comment here if you think this can be improved (or if you think it's a bad idea altogether).

Apple iFlix DVD subscription service 03/26/2005 07:51 PM
Apple hired someone who used to work for the XBox Live subscription service, so AppleInsider are speculating that Apple is considering a subscription model for the iTunes music store. I think it's more likely she's working on the Apple iFlix DVD subscription service (Codename "Celluloid"). With the DVD subscription service you "rent" movies in H.264 format (Apple FAQ, Wikipedia) via an iTunes like program and play them on your Mac Mini in your living room. You can have 4 movies...

Saturday's Scripting News asked an important question: What do users want from RSS? The context of the question is the upcoming RS S Winterfest. Dave Winer adds:

I thought we should try to put the focus on people who use the technology, to let them set the agenda for the developers.

Amen. Over the weekend I received a draft of the RSS Winterfest agenda along with a request for feedback. Here's mine: focus on users. In an October posting from BloggerCon I present video testimony from several of them who make it painfully clear that the most basic publishing and subscribing tasks aren't yet nearly simple enough. ...
