MapInfo to Support GeoRSS [Updated]
by Adena Schutzberg

Back when I interviewed him in May, MapInfo Senior Product Manager Moshe 
Benyamin would not commit to support, 
<http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=2183&trv=1> but 
today at GISCafe 
<http://www10.giscafe.com/nbc/articles/view_weekly.php?articleid=288694>, 
he does.

    In the very near future, we are looking to notify our customers
    about the availability of a new site where we will be posting a
    GeoRSS reader utility among other utilities for MapInfo Professional
    v8.5 users. The new connectivity enhancements we made in v8.5 are
    exciting and the GeoRSS utility highlights just one of the many ways
    customers can leverage the new interoperability options we now offer.



*Udpate 7/18:* I contacted Moshe who shared this statement regarding 
which GeoRSS would be supported.

    The utility we are looking to share will support all three
    standards. [See the three detailed here
    <http://www.directionsmag.com/article.php?article_id=2197>; none are
    "official" W3C or OGC standards.] The support however will be
    limited to point data at this point - this is because we have seen
    the most number of sites with useful data one can access. With that
    said, we are looking to also provide the source code of this utility
    so our users will have the option to extend or customize the utility
    for their specific use. 


Moshe goes on to note that when the extention will be available is not 
final, but suggests that those who are interested sign up 
<http://www.mapinfo.com/registration/tier1/Registration.jsp> for 
MapInfo's e-News to learn when the resource page will be available.
