Hi I am planning to open a rss aggregator site. Suppose I want to read the rss feeds provided by BBC or Reuters or Yahoo do I need to pay? How do I distinguish...
An issue that's come up repeatedly with the My Yahoo! RSS module is how to handle robots.txt in the "robot" that fetches headlines. How do other aggregator...
... This was discussed in the syndication or rss-dev lists some time ago. Basically a reader doesn't 'crawl' a hierarchy so the robots.txt file isn't really ...

Hi all, I'd like to get some feedback from RSS reader developers about the idea of an ID being used to distinguish an installed reader instance. That is,...
