This coupled with AOL announcement today and with Rojo's open sourcing -
should send a clear message as to what our architecture should be.

YES - we have similar functionality - but since it's a commodity - hold the
line on adv features

YES - to any sort of plug-in anything

YES - to routing services

YES - to tools which keep things in structured form and THEN do fancy things
with that structured data - including routing it through an output service.

So we're right on track!

Subject: Yahoo working on microcontent aggregator too?

"Jeremy Zawodny was very interesting and pointed out a couple of things.

- The rumours about Yahoo working on a Technorati killer, are true.

- The aggregator will support Microformats and RSS Extensions, including
some of Yahoo's rivals

- Yahoo will be REALLY opening up more APIs. Zawodny failed or kept very
quiet about the Konfabulator take over

- Yahoo are counting RSS/Atom as a type of API not just as a syndication
format"
