Event-driven RSS syndication

My friend and communicator of note Bill Boyd sent along a white paper (registration required) from a company called KnowHow touting “The Next Big Thing”—event-driven RSS. KnowHow makes the enterprise server that runs event-driven RSS, designed for internal communicaitons.

The paper outlines the limitations of RSS as it exists today, including…

  • Lack of centralized control
  • Increased load on infrastructure
  • Timeliness, completeness and relevancy of information
  • Duplicate content publication

Event-driven RSS is designed to deliver “instant alerts and notifications only to the people who should have them, when they need them.” In other words, it’s an online “push” solution (particularly because it integrates multiple RSS feeds within corporate portals). KnowHow also claims the concept eliminates the bandwidth issues produced by constant polling.
