A well-known Microsoft Corp. Web logger Tuesday downplayed the proposed use of a new name for RSS (Really Simple Syndication) in the next version of Internet Explorer (IE) following several days of intense discussion about the notion of rebranding RSS in the Web log community.
In an interview Wednesday, Robert Scoble, a Microsoft technical evangelist and writer of a popular Web log, or blog, about the software giant, said the company had not made a final decision as to whether it would rename RSS "Web feeds" in the final version of IE 7 the way it has in the beta version that is available now.
