RSS tutorials. There is a very detailed introduction to syndication at Mnot.net, and Editor & Publisher's Steve Outing has a recent article describing an RSS future for internet publishers via syndication rather than email, now that spam seems to be coming more troublesome. (8/27/3) See also Outing's column urging bloggers to report hard news. (9/10/03) Some of this via Dave Winer.

Everyone seems to agree that syndication is still young enough that we'll all be adapting to new versions, new hopes, new problems, for a few more years. The one thing I want to work out, and I'm not sure when I'll have time to look into it, is a campus-centered syndication system that will allow students and professor to know whenever there are new posts among class members or that will allow professors to know whenever a department or committee has posted new work, that sort of thing. Then, eventually, a campus blog aggregating all other campus blogs in some shapely fashion.
