Dave Winer's proposing adding a <ttl> element to RSS as a means of making it easier to insert RSS items into Gnutellanet. I love the idea of people working hard to augment the noninfringing uses of Gnutella — earlier today in one of the comments, someone mentioned that "98 percent of Kazaa users are engaged in infringement," and my houseguest, David Marusek, mentioned to me last night that he was under the impression that P2P networks were only used to infringe. This is not the case, of course — no more than the idea that chat-rooms are only used for cybersex or that personal websites are only used to post pictures of people's pets. RSS-over-Gnutella would be a nifty and substantial new use for Gnutellanet, IMO.
(Thanks, Dave!)
