Lightweight but Powerful
One of the key benefits of the Web 2.0 Edition is that it uses REST and RSS, two of the most popular, lightweight service interfaces, as the mechanism for interacting with websites that data is collected from. This reduces complexity in robot design, requires less training, and is a good general purpose solution for many applications that incorporate web data sources.
The Web 2.0 Edition can create an RSS feed from any website in minutes and add the feed to your favorite RSS reader to customize delivery of web content to your desktop. |
