Buried a few screens down on this page is some interesting news about the BBC’s RSS feeds. The key points are:
- A loosening of the terms of use to allow all sites to use the feeds, instead of the current “personal use only” license
- A feed for most recently published stories
- Feeds based on user-defined searches
- A large promotion of RSS feeds across the site
This will all be happening in the second week of May.
They also say that they are aiming to have 10% of their site traffic driven by RSS by the end of this year.
