Summary

This chapter was all about syndication. After defining what syndication is and how it is linked with the terms podcasting and vodcasting, we investigated some common syndication formats such as RSS, Atom, and MediaRSS. We introduced some clients, which can be used to display syndication feeds.

We learned how to use RSS syndication with an unmodified Plone with Collections and searches. As Plone uses the RSS 1.0 format for syndication, it is not capable of feeding multimedia content. For this task we need add-ons, which we found in the two products—Vice and fatsyndication.
