Kennedy: Create a new feed syndication platform at Microsoft
Niall Kennedy (of Technorati fame) is headed to Microsoft to create a new team. They're creating a feed syndication platform which is to be integrated it into Windows Live. And, it seems that Live will become the default homepage for IE7 and Vista (in addition to several other products and services already mentioned by MS). Richard MacManus predicted this a while back and has some excellent related comments today on his blog.
Quoted from Niall's blog:
"Live.com is the new default home page for users of the Internet Explorer 7 and the Windows Vista operating system. Live.com will be the first feed syndication experience for hundreds of millions of users who would love to add more content to their page, connect with friends, and take control of the flow of information in ways geeks have for years. I do not believe we have even begun to tap into the power of feeds as a platform and the possibilities that exist if we mine this data, connect users, and add new layers of personalization and social sharing. These are just some of the reasons I am excited to build something new and continue to change how the world can access new information as it happens.
