微软下一代浏览器,将使用Firefox的RSS图标
微软倒是挺虚心学习的。

Microsoft plans to use the Firefox browser's Really Simple Syndication (RSS) icon in the next version of its Internet Explorer browser, according to the company's Internet Explorer team blog.
Teaming With Mozilla

In a posting on Microsoft's IEBlog last week, Jane Kim, a Microsoft program manager for RSS in IE, said Microsoft has decided to use in IE 7 an orange icon that the Firefox browser uses to identify RSS feeds. IE 7 is expected to ship next year.
"We all agreed that it's in the user's best interest to have one common icon to represent RSS and RSS-related features in a browser," Kim wrote in the posting, which briefly describes a trip members of the IE team took to Silicon Valley to meet with members of the Mozilla browser team.
"This isn't the first time that we've worked with the Mozilla team to exchange ideas and encourage consistency between browsers, and we're sure it won't be the last," she added in the post.
Microsoft will use the icon in the IE 7 command bar whenever a page has a feed associated with it, and also in other places in the browser whenever there is need for a visual to represent RSS and feeds, according to Kim.
RSS Strategy Watched
Microsoft plans to release another build of IE 7 in early 2006, and the new icon will be available in that release, according to Kim's post.
How Microsoft would identify RSS feeds in the next version of IE has been the topic of much heated debate by Microsoft watchers, who accused the vendor of trying to co-opt the technology when it called RSS feeds "Web feeds" in the first IE 7 beta, which was released in July.
RSS has become a widely used Web standard for adding content syndication to Web sites, and is often identified by an orange "RSS" icon in a browser.
In the little over a year since its launch, the open-source Firefox browser has become a popular alternative to IE. Mozilla recently released an update of the browser, Firefox 1.5. |
