More Uses for RSS

Like many, I use RSS feeds to get information to blog about. In addition to that, there are other uses that lawyers can use RSS feed for. Google Docs & Spreadsheets features RSS so you can be notified if someone updates a document you are working on with others.

I also use Basecamp in my own practice. Basecamp provides RSS feeds. However to protect your security, your RSS reader must support authentication or be password protected. Newsgator products provide both.

The future of RSS looks wonderful. But, how long will we have to wait before higher courts will provide case updates via RSS? How long before state legislatures will use RSS to update the public on updates in Bills that are in those houses? I hope it is soon.

NJ's courts do make new opinions, published and unpublished, available by RSS. I think I got the link here, but here it is: http://law-library.rutgers.edu/feeds/
