[Moonwatcher Technology: RSS is Velcro for Enterprise Applications](http://www.globelogger.com/item.php?id=725 "RSS is Velcro for Enterprise Applications")

Charlie is on somewhat of a roll. This post about RSS being enterprise velcro, rather than glue, is a minor classic.

Perhaps he should have said ATOM though- which is more loosely coupled because it contains greater semantic richness. RSS is more like SMS.

On the other hand RSS is his platform choice, so be it.
