Here's the citation: Marcus Lillkvist, "Technology (A Special Report); Feed Me: With RSS, you don't have to go out and find information on the Web; It finds you," Wall Street Journal (Eastern edition), May 24, 2004, R12.

Meanwhile, feeds also have proved useful in corporate settings. Software provider Triple Point Technology Inc. uses RSS technology in place of the lengthy e-mails it used to send out to notify staff members of new developments in the company's various projects. Now, staff members at the Westport, Conn., company receive an RSS feed notifying them that one of the company's new internal Web logs has been updated, and they can go to the site to catch up with the news. The new system is more efficient, says Allie Rogers, Triple Point's chief information officer, who adds that the blogs ensure that employees can't lose information, as they could with e-mail, and that they can easily search for information sent out earlier.
