Greg Reinacker, who founded and runs NewsGator (the company that makes the RSS plug-in for Outlook and hosts an online RSS aggregator) notes in his blog (free subscription to NewsGator required) that the company is working on an enterprise RSS server, code named Dino. Companies are already setting up RSS feeds and, since their employees already use Outlook, NewsGator is an easy way to introduce the concept to employees; the feeds show up in folders just like e-mail. Reinacker writes,

Imagine NewsGator Online, picked up and installed on a server behind a corporate firewall. Imagine it also (optionally) connecting with Active Directory and Exchange server. No longer would a system administrator need to go install NewsGator Outlook edition on 3000 desktops; rather, with Dino, they could install a single server, make some configuration choices, and employees will just get “more stuff” somewhere in their Exchange mailbox without having to install anything on their own machines. Outlook; Outlook Web Access; Blackberry; Exchange ActiveSync; all of this is enabled by the Dino/Exchange integration.

This won’t be the last RSS solution for intranets, where RSS feeds will be commonplace within a year or two.
