Apple auf RSS-Safari

In der ersten Hälfte 2005 sollen Apple-Anwender Webfeeds direkt über ihren Browser Safari lesen und abonnieren können. Steve Jobs Company hat mit der Ankündigung des neuesten OS X Update Tiger auf der World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC) Safari unter anderem um die RSS-Fähigkeit erweitert. Dabei scheint Apple alles richtig machen zu wollen. Davon kann jeder RSS-Fan sich via Demo selbst überzeugen.

Dave Winer ist jedenfalls von der Demo begeistert.

"It's not three-pane, it's one panel, with the items displayed, from all your feeds, in reverse chronologic order. This is the most efficient way to read for the user. A lot of designers think RSS readers should work just like mail apps, but that's too inefficient. With mail you need to keep spam and mail list content segregated. For news, you need a different interface. I've been saying it for years, the Apple designers apparently didn't get sucked into the design mistake so many have. One thing I wish Apple had done differently is respect the white-on-orange icon. Such a small thing, but so important. One would think Apple, of all, would understand the value of consistent user interface."
