Microsoft just released SSE, an extention to RSS format. Currently, RSS is like a one-way radio. RSS can push data to your reader but you can’t push items back to the reader. That means, that, you can read my blog using bloglines.com but you cannot send information to my blog.

SSE will allow two-way communication. It’s being written as a “revolutionary” format. Althought I never like hearing about things being “revolutionary”, I like the idea of SSE. I’ve only read of people talking about community calendars. But I like the idea of “online conversations”. If 20 or 30 people are interested in the same thing, they can discuss it through their blogs. The SSE format would allow them to have a large discussion. Uh oh… I feel a new buzzword coming on… How about “ConverLog”.

Check out a good post on SSE

Also, check out a Microsofts Web Site About SSE.

Because it is so new, If you can create a useful application based around SSE, I’m sure you would get many reviews and immediate fame. Good luck.
