Sun Adopts RSS

I read the recent eWeek article “Sun Adopts RSS” with great interest given my employ with Sun and my blogging experiences via my personal site and java.net.

After reading it, though, I had to ask myself: Is this really news? Sun’s been providing developer feeds for many months now and works to make sure related developer sites and communities have what they need to support RSS too (see Netbeans.org and java.net for two examples). The only additional news here is that Sun’s ratcheting up its commitment even further.

Perhaps the article should have been titled “Sun Adopted RSS Long Ago, But We’re Just Now Telling You About It”?
