Is that really what they're doing? I don't think their offer of an opt-out is very convincing. My feed is copyrighted, so they need my permission to republish it, and they don't have it. I'm glad that Mike Arrington, a lawyer, is <a href="http://socialsoftware.weblogsinc.com/2006/05/19/feedpass-makes-rss-subscription-and-monetizing-other-peoples-co/#c1531430">looking</a> into this.

It now polls the OPML files that it has <a href="http://share.opml.org/enterurl/">URLs</a> for. </p> <p>SYO also now fully supports the <a href="http://geeks.opml.org/stories/storyReader$863">ping server</a> I implemented <a href="http://www.scripting.com/2006/05.html#When:8:07:08AM">last week</a>, so now it's time to show everyone else how to do it. The pings work exactly as they did for weblogs.com (which is pretty much the <a href="http://www.xmlrpc.com/weblogsCom">standard</a> for pinging in the blogging world), you send the message to rpc.opml.org, it verifies that the file has changed, and if so it apears in its <a href="http://hosting.opml.org/shareOpmlOrg.xml">changes.xml</a> file, which is open, as it was with weblogs.com.</p> <p>We're also working on some interesting podcast-related features for SYO and looking to hire another developer, maybe two, to expand the service. I'm pretty happy with the way it's going, and want to invest more. Looking for people with PHP, MySQL, WordPress and XML experience. </p> Sat, 20 May 2006 07:15:38 GMT http://www.scripting.com/2006/05/20.html#syoNews
