RSS meets BitTorrent - Syndicating Multimedia

"A demo publishing system launched Friday by a popular programmer and blogger merges two of this season's hottest tech fads -- RSS news syndication and BitTorrent file sharing -- to create a cheap publishing system for what its author calls "big media objects."

A testament to the power of the RSS concept, which seems to have weathered the storm of the tedious wrangling over versions/standards.
