I’ve been thinking more and more about JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) lately. If you aren’t familiar with JSON here’s some reading:
Unless I see a serious counter argument, I’m ready to jump on the replace XML with JSON boat. Other proposed ideas based on JSON include JSONRequest (a safer version of XMLHttpRequest) and JSON-RPC (like XML-RPC without the XML).
This leads me to my next thought, should the existing feed formats (RSS & ATOM) be replaced with JSON? I’m not 100% sure that this is the right thing, but I’m giving it serious consideration.
The Yahoo Publisher Network (YPN) now supports having their ads placed in feeds (RSS, ATOM). It looks like only Movable Type and WordPress are currently supported. Instructions for adding ads to your feeds are provided, but the images they used are barely readable. The WordPress screen shots are bordering on useless they are so difficult to read. Somebody should have caught that before these instructions were posted.
I’ve added the YPN ad feed code to the feeds for this blog to try this out. If these ads work in a reasonable way then Yahoo may have taken a big step forward over Google AdSense by supporting WordPress in addition to Movable Type.
