Title

Kevin Burton's Feed Blog

Description

My name is Kevin Burton and in a former life I was the author of the NewsMonster RSS aggregator and a co-Founder of Rojo Networks (though I'm now independent).

I've been working with "feeds" for about 5 years now. It started as part of my Jetspeed project and then was influenced by my research with distributed reputation systems. When blogs started to get hot I became convinced that feeds were the way of the future.

NewsMonster was the first RSS/Atom aggregator integrated into the browser (Mozilla and Firefox). It took Microsoft and Apple three years to deliver similar offerings. NewsMonster was the first aggregator to include browser integration, Atom support, RSS module support, offline caching, favicon support, images for stories, and a distributed reputation system (including many other features). NewsMonster integrated deep into the framework of Mozilla so I was able to learn a lot about the internal design. Most of this technology was later incorporated into Rojo Networks.
