Alphabet news: AP get RSS
BuzzMachine
By jarvis
: Susan Mernit reports that the AP has put up more than a dozen RSS feeds. This is good news for RSS. But it's also damned interesting news for the news business. This means that readers can now go directly to news stories on the AP's site and not on members' (clients') sites (realize that the AP is a collective owned by many of the news organizations it serves; that's why they also let the AP use their news). I'm wondering whether that's going to cause a burp. When the AP started its online news service, it went to incredible pains to make sure you could get to it only through members' sites. I wonder whether Reuters' plans to build an online brand of its own is causing a little competitive indigestion.

Jarvis - RSS News: Associated Press launches RSS feeds

The Associated Press has quietly added RSS feeds to their corporate site. This is the first time AP stories are available directly on the web in RSS (as opposed to running through Yahoo News.) The seventeen feeds include Top News, US, World, Business, Sports, and Technology--and are headlines/digest feeds available for non-commercial use. Right now the feeds go to generic AP story pages. According to VP/Director of Strategic Planning Jim Kennedy, in time they plan to implement geotargeting to direct clickthrus to local/regional members who use the Custom News service.
Some terms worth noting in the language of the redistribution rights:

* You agree to provide proper attribution to The Associated Press in reasonable proximity to your use of the RSS feed(s), and you agree that you will not modify the format or branding of the headlines, digests and other information provided in the RSS feeds.
* The RSS feeds may not be spliced into or otherwise redistributed by third-party RSS providers.
* No content, including any advertisements or other promotional content, shall be added to the RSS feeds.

AP has been hard at work studying the next generation of digital and social media--this is the first tangible product of those efforts.
