Microsoft to make RSS two-way

Microsoft is extending the RSS 2.0 Web syndication format to make it "multidirectional" so that it can be used for synchronising information such as contacts and calendar entries across different applications, according to reports.

RSS 2.0 is best known as a way to let Internet users subscribe to content from Web sites that support Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds. When content on a site is updated, the RSS feed informs the subscriber.

Microsoft is developing a set of extensions to RSS to make the one-way publishing mechanism multidirectional to enable users to share and edit a list of items using an RSS feed.
