4 years ago today, Scripting News was the first web site to support RSS. I'm not sure when I first heard about RSS but it was at least a year, maybe two years later. My first RSS experience was coding a Flash 5 component that consumed an RSS news feed, a component I quickly forgot because I was only doing it as a testing ground for Flash's xml parsing, which I went on to use in other, similar ways. RSS syndication seemed to be a very cool idea at the time but it was still at least a year or more after that before I began seeing RSS/XML pop up in enough places to convince me that this might actually be here to stay. Congrats, Dave. Hopefully the next 4 years will continue the trend.
