Making RSS Scale I've been meaning to write about this since I saw a one-page article on the subject of RSS clogging websites' bandwidth in NewScientist back in June. But it wasn't until I saw this Slashdot story on the same subject that I knew I had to get my thoughts down. A lot of sites are suffering from a big problem mdash; they are being systematically hammered by RSS newsreaders for new material at regular intervals. When I first came across RSS around two years ago and did some reading up on it, it sounded like another interesting protocol for a nonproblem. I wondered what was wrong with just refreshing a "What's new?" page. (I have a natural scepticism towards new and exotic protocols.) Nonetheless, after RSS established a niche in the realm of informing us, rolling news style, of new network content, I recognised its usefulness in this situation. I did still feel that its design was suboptimal, no matter how many thousands of bloggers now relied on it. | 3 |
