An oldie, I know, but since the project I’m currently undertaking is deeply involved with RSS, I thought I might as well get some bases cleared first. And this video does this perfectly. If this is your first time hearing about RSS, content syndication, Feeds and the likes, then you’ll find this video highly instructive. Enjoy!
Here’s a presentation that puts in perspective some of he challenges awaiting me while developing part of the SAPO Campus project.
Some early thoughts on this:
The idea to create an open, widget-based platform was very well received. It is as such intended that the development process doesn’t grind to a stop once the project is finished, and that people continue to make new widgets available, allowing the platform to get on with the times.
However, there’s an urgent need to deepen my research on the ways to manage and visualize large sets of news content, and paper-based low-fi prototypes must be developed as soon as possible, in order to settle down ideas and get some early user feedback.
With all that said, I’ve also posted the presentation here, if Portuguese is more your cup of tea.
