[...] Back in 2004 I wrote a post about a service that allowed you to track Ebay auctions via RSS. The notion of watching keywords or triggers with a mechanism like RSS is so logical that it stuns me to see how little of this has been adopted by companies in my segment of the technology business. I noticed that Niall Kennedy is going to Microsoft to build feed syndication into Live. When I consider what Microsoft is doing with their small business applications and the potential for leveraging Live.com, well it makes me think that maybe they do get it better than most and can make this happen Burnham's Beat: Persistent Search: Search’s Next Big Battleground Simply put, Persistent Search allows users to enter a search query just once and then receive constant, near real-time, automatic updates whenever new content that meets their search criteria is published on the web. live.com, Microsoft, niall kennedy, persistent search, RSS Posted in Innovation, People, Companies, Trends, Enterprise Software || [...]

Another reason why RSS hasn’t taken off in very large organizations is no doubt because they have to buy and implement another application to actually use it. When IE7 rolls out of beta and begins the upgrade cycle I am quite sure we will see a good bump in RSS adoption.

On the security issue, I can see that as a big area of concern, and all the more reason for financial institutions to band together and promote security mechanisms for RSS.

I’ve had RSS feeds built into my help desk app since day one and it’s been a huge success. I’ve found that lots of business folks want the capabilities that RSS provides even though they don’t know what RSS is. By having the feed and the little icon it spurs them on to figure it out and once they do they love it.

I am senior manager of ebusiness for a top 5 financial institution. For the last year (or so) I have been challenging out intranet team to use RSS for everything. Take up, (by the developers…not users) has been extremely slow. They just don’t want to change what they know.

Additionally, I have been pushing our online banking team to figure out how to utilize RSS for our clients internet banking. Again, get a million reasons not too (security, no one gets it, etc.) but very few people who are interested in trying to make it work.

It has been unbelievably painful to make them see the light an change their ways.
