We're often accused of being geeks; too much technospeak in everything we do and say. This is true - we're not marketing geniuses and we care a great deal about building technology infrastructures that are correct and high-quality. Just the other day one of our resellers (Real Estate Blogsites) asked if there was a way to reprogram a client's site to generate an RSS feed that included all items from a certain date forward to the present. Rather than reprogam the site, I simply shared a URL - ... public/rss/105432?archive=*none&oc_CreateTime=2007-08-10&limit=999 This URL temporarily disables the automatic archive system, specifies a date constraint using our Object Constraint API, and opens the floodgate to generate all items in all RSS feeds for all channels in this client's blogsite from August 10th to date. In any other blogging service this is unattainable at the URL level and nearly impossible for most tools even with a programmer. Geeky? You bet it is, but it's also a busniess requirement made possible because we're such geeks and we care about the information architecture of the MyST Platform, the foundational technology of MyST Blogsite. The web has indeed changed and many of the new terms - XML, Web 2.0, mashups, and RSS feed will quietly take a back seat as they blend into everyday computing experiences. Everything we build - we build with XML. We rethink everything about every detail and behind every detail, is another detail. |
