MicroSoft’s Ray Ozzie announced Simple Sharing Extensions (SSE) this morning, a “specification that extends RSS from unidirectional to bidirectional information flows.” And, wow, is Microsoft starting to get with it. They’ve released it under Creative Commons license, the same license that covers the RSS 2.0 specification. Anyone can remix, tweak, and build upon the specification even for commercial reasons.
See Ray Ozzie, Dave Winer and the FAQs.
For example, SSE could be used to share your work calendar with your spouse. If your calendar were published to an SSE feed, changes to your work calendar could be replicated to your spouse’s calendar, and vice versa. As a result, your spouse could see your work schedule and add new appointments, such as a parent-teacher meeting at the school, or a doctor’s appointment.
SSE allows you to replicate any set of independent items (for example, calendar entries, lists of contacts, list of favorites, blogrolls) using simple RSS semantics. If you can publish your data as an RSS feed, the simple addition of SSE will allow you to replicate your data to any other application that implements the SSE specification.
SSE can also be used to extend other formats such as OPML.
New companies will be built on the back of SSE.
Honestly NewsGator needs competition. They’re products, while great; need some better work on the UI front. Feed Demon is a great application but unfortunately the NewsGator API is bulky, slow, and inefficient.
Just to elaborate on my previous comment, Feed Demon, the latest Beta’s are slow and clunky after the integration of the NewsGator API. This might be a beta issue, it might not be, I don’t know. I do know that the app is great! No means to install Nick Bradbury or Greg Greg Reinacker
Im excited about the bidirectional ability too. Is there any more documentation about this? Are there any examples out there yet?
This is great – exactly what we’ve been waiting for. Personally, I would have called it SSR (RSS backwards, natch).
Apparently they already released Simple Feed Extensions under the Creative Commons ShareAlike license awhile ago.

Are there any POC of this anywhere yet? This probably make more sense to dumb minds.
I just think SSE cannot be called bidirectional. In microsoft’s sample, they did give a bidrectional interaction between Node A and B. But it’s two feeds not one. So SSE in my view is at most machine readable RSS. In other words, original RSS is for human view only. Now with SSE, we can make machine to subscribe to feeds and action accordingly.
it most certainly is bidirectional.. with the way it is described they allow for true read/writability
I describe the model in simpler terms here:

and I also post some applications I think will spawn from this new technology
synchronize is soooo web1.0.. centralize is the new game
why synch calendars when you should just host them centrally?
