RSS for productivity: your business and your work, done your way

Business Week Online’s article: "It’s A Whole New Web" notes:

… even software king Microsoft Corp. (MSFT ) is seeing core franchises such as its Office software attacked by Web mail services, wikis, and JotSpot Inc.’s do-it-yourself software tools, which let you quickly create customized mini-programs such as a shared to-do list for a corporate department. As a result, the Web is even starting to challenge Windows as the foundation on which people are creating software — which is now morphing into services on the Web…

One reason all this is coming to a head now is the maturing of a host of Internet technologies. Really Simple Syndication, or RSS, lets people subscribe to blogs and other sites, so they get customized bundles of material sent to them as they’re created — say, all the stories about Hurricane Katrina from The New York Times.

RSS is just getting started as a business and productivity tool. How will you use the new technology?
