Globe and Mail does RSS
The Globe and Mail becomes today, so far as I know, the first Canadian newspaper to offer its Web content via an RSS feed.

It's nice the Globe is started to syndicate a bit more, and to do so publicly. People might not be aware that the GAM has been syndicating with a version of RSS for quite some time now -- Google shows references to them at least as far back as June 2003. It used to be that you had to register for their headlines service to get the URL of all the feeds, which is: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/generated/headlines/rdf/
These old feels are RSS 0.90 (one of the many, versions of RSS). These new feeds are RSS 2.0, and they include the first sentence of articles, whereas the old feeds only have headlines. More text would be VERY NICE. So an improvement, but not such a big deal for people who've been in-the-know for a while. Re: Globe and Mail does RSS

Took the words right out of my mouth. Nice improvement, though.

If G&M is the first canadian newspaper to syndicate RSS then BMO Bank of Montreal is the first bank to do so.
