The RSS Vendors Space
Richard MacMannus takes a good look at the RSS vendors space, giving special attention to the search category.
I was especially interested in reading his break-down of the RSS publisher services vendors:
Publisher Services
Sub-categories: Content; Analytics; Feed Mgmt; Advertising
Examples: Feedburner; Nooked; Pheedo; SimpleFeed; Syndicate IQ
Nice break-down, Richard, although it could use some further sub-categorizing in the feed management area.
Richard also notes this category as especially interesting, since "The Big 3" (Yahoo!, Microsoft, Google) have shown little interest here. I'm almost willing to bet they won't, since the market isn't as attractive as the mass end-user market. Also, if the e-mail world is an indication, this space will be owned by niche players, focusing especially on this category.
