News Feeds

Incomplete, needs to be expanded. Please help to fill the gaps or discuss the issue on the talk page

Als News Feeds bezeichnet man Listen von Neuigkeiten auf einer Website, die man z.B. mit Newsfeed Readern abonnieren kann.

Formats

Neben dem traditionellen Format RSS gibt es seit 2003 das neuere Atom-Format.

Authoring

Als Autorensystem für News Feeds dienen typischerweise WebLogs (Blog Editor), in denen man Beiträge (Artikel) schreiben kann, die dann nach aussen als RSS- oder Atom-Feed erscheinen. Es gibt aber auch spezielle Newsfeed Writer.

Publishing

When you start writing your notes in form of News Feeds, you need a place to publish them. Publishing is done by placing the RSS or Atom file on an HTTP server like Apache.

What is meant for the public could easily be FTPed to an existing HTTP Server in the public internet.

Sensitive internal information should be kept on a private HTTP server within the home LAN. I have one device at home that is running 24x7 hours, that's my NAS disk, the Buffalo LinkStation. The LinkStation runs an Apache server for administration and configuration.

With the help of information from the Web, I have managed to telnet to my LinkStation and identify the Apache DocumentRoot. It's /www. Now it's easy to create da subdirectory /www/feeds and publish my RSS feeds via SFTP to that directory.
