Microsoft lately announced that they are going to be releasing a brand new browser version sometime this summer. The new browser version was to be released with Longhorn, the code name for their next operating method to replace Windows XP, but they decided that they required to release it sooner than that.

Several feel the reason is since Firefox, the new preferred browser, has introduced some important functions that quite a few surfers have come to anticipate. This possibly has put pressure on Microsoft to respond using a browser using the exact same specs.

1 of these important attributes is tabbed browsing, which permits you to browse to several web-sites working with just 1 window with tabs instead of opening a brand new window for each and every page.

But tabbed browsing is not all…

I’m definitely excited concerning the possibility of a brand new feature that could alter the way web-surfers get their content!

While there has been no formal announcement about this, there has been lots of speculation concerning the new browser such as a built-in RSS reader.

An RSS what???

Let me clarify…

RSS has taken off like a rocket. Weblog web-sites really like it, and just about every significant web page on the market now supports it such as CNN, ESPN, Yahoo, Google, and MSN.

RSS is absolutely nothing additional than a format for delivering write-up headlines that could be read and neatly displayed by RSS readers, a lot like an e-mail program displays e-mail messages.

But so far the reputation of RSS has been confined primarily to blogsites and tech-saavy people who know the best way to “tune in” to an RSS Feed. Although it’s spreading like wildfire, several typical internet users have no thought what RSS is! (I’ve confirmed that by lately asking a number of of my buddies, and none of them had ever heard of it!)

This is all about to alter!

Microsoft has quite excellent reason to contain an RSS reader with their new IE version. If they do not, surfers may possibly have reason to switch to a different that does. Firefox already consists of an RSS reader.

If they DO incorporate an RSS reader, feel of the implications:*You could browse to a webpage and IE could “discover” any RSS links on the page and notify you of them

*You may well have the ability to Right-Click on an RSS Feed and have an alternative to “Add to RSS Reader”, which would immediately subscribe you to the Feed.

*Web developers may possibly have the ability to write internet pages that permit visitors to automatically subscribe to a feed by clicking a button or submitting a form.

Bear in mind, Firefox already has all these capabilities, but the vast majority nonetheless utilizes IE!

When visitors understand how RSS works and determine how uncomplicated and convenient it really is, RSS will turn into the expected format.

Soon you may be FORCED to provide RSS content mainly because customers won’t would like to hand out their e-mail address anymore!

The time will come…will you be ready to deliver?
