RSS: It's Not Just For Bloggers Anymore
RSS: It's Not Just for Bloggers Anymore.
E-mail is dead. Last week's experience with the MyDoom worm and its variants tells us much about the future of e-mail. Many companies were without e-mail for a couple of days: Some closed their systems to all incoming mail, others to all mail in both directions. Yet work kept getting done. Files were transferred via alternate e-mail addresses, FTP, or Web postings. Unless you were foolish enough to click on the malevolent file -- or brave enough to live without a basic spam filter -- last week's events were more annoying than they were project or job threatening. Rest of the story: RSS: It's Not Just for Bloggers Anymore.
