  • Publication number: 20070094389
    Abstract: Content directed towards a user is identified and the classification of the content is determined and used in the creation of a personalized RSS feed that gives a user controlled access to the data. Multiple classes of RSS feeds are generated based on the contents and as such, a user can have one RSS feed that is password protected and one that is readily available. By varying the access controls on the RSS based files, multiple classes of RSS feeds can be created. Additionally, a single RSS feed may be applied for carrying multiple classes of content. The underlying content is stored in XML content files that have an access control mechanism applied to them. Thus, upon actuating a link in an RSS XML index file, the user may be required to enter access credentials.
