RSS, Tag, Wiki: The technical force that makes the internet bounce

Like RSS technology, tag is also used to deal with more and more network information. And its function is mainly the content classification. Gmail users should be familiar with tag, in the mailbox users can add a number of keywords for each message classification information, such as work, advertising, planning, completed and other arbitrary classification.

The advent of new technologies has led to richer web applications, and ignoring them will make you lose the Internet.

　　Rss

When browsing many news websites recently, users are surprised to find that some orange icons with the word "XML" appear frequently. If you use a normal browser, users can only see a page full of heavenly book. This is a recently popular network technology, known as RSS (Really Simple Syndication). With a dedicated RSS reader, users can quickly browse through a wide range of Web content, such as news or blog. The original RSS is mainly used in the private blog. But its ease of use was quickly welcomed. RSS is also added to the Web sites of famous traditional media such as Businessweek, Forbes and New York times.

Users who use the RSS reader can subscribe to the content of their own web site and click on the orange icon to get the RSS feed and save it in the Reading tool. The RSS reader automatically connects those Web sites to check and display the title and summary content of the updated content.

It seems fashionable and novel RSS technology has been developed in the past 1997 years or so, but not until today to glow. One of the big reasons for this is that the advent of millions of of web logs has caused users to read difficult. More and more companies are starting to focus on RSS technology, and Apple's Safari browser has a built-in RSS reader in addition to the vendors who develop RSS-reading software. And Microsoft also plans to support RSS reading in future versions of IE browsers. While other RSS service providers Support Online RSS reading, Bloglines is the most famous of them.

　　Tag

Like RSS technology, tag is also used to deal with more and more network information. And its function is mainly the content classification. Gmail users should be familiar with tag, in the mailbox users can add a number of keywords for each message classification information, such as work, advertising, planning, completed and other arbitrary classification. The search can be done by any one or several tag keywords. This greatly enriches the accuracy of the methods and results of retrieving information.

For example, I have seen an article on a website about the Lithuanian star Ilgauskas of the NBA Cavaliers to tell the story of his hometown, and when I want to read this article again can not remember the Lithuanian name of the clumsy, and his hometown is no impression. How do I search for this article? Tag can help me solve this problem, when I read this article, you can save its links in the del.icio.us and other network bookmarks, and then add an NBA tag. So I can find it easily when I search it later. Forget about the storage folders!

Yahoo now attaches great importance to tag technology, because it represents a new way to organize and manage online information. It is different from the traditional keyword search for the file itself, but a kind of fuzzy and intelligent classification. This more in line with the user's smooth sense and improve the similarity of search results, will greatly promote the user's ability to query digital files, photos, video and other multimedia digital files can be labeled tag to manage. Tag itself can not replace Yahoo and Google, such as search engines, but if the application of tag in the future gradually increase, then the use of search engines will certainly be reduced.

　　Wiki

Almost everyone understands that wikis are open encyclopedia Wikipedia from the Internet, and no one has ever seen a site that anyone can modify before. Since 2001, tens of thousands of volunteers have completed 5 million articles in the Internet encyclopedia in 50 languages, all thanks to wiki!

The word wiki comes from the Hawaiian phrase "wee kee wee Kee", which originally meant "hurry quickly". Ward Cunningham created the concept of wikis and the corresponding service system in 1995. The system allows people who know nothing about the programming language to add or modify a Web site content.

Today, software developers have developed collaborative software based on wiki theory and mechanism. IBM's Lotus Notes belong to a similar product. The open source wiki software developed by TWiki company has been downloaded 35,000 times since 2001. And 2/3 of these downloaded programs are used for commercial use, including Disney, SAP and Motorola's renowned companies.
