Yahoo has big plans for RSS Content Syndication according to Jeremy Zawodny, a Yahoo employee.

Jeremy Zawodny made this comment in a blog post relating Yahoo's need for RSS Engineer's. Here's what he wrote:

"Remember when I said we're serious about RSS?

Good, because we're looking for a good RSS hacker with some large systems and scaling experience to help with our RSS backend systems (aka, our "content aggregation platform"). Here are some tidbits from the official job listing.

Ideally, we're looking for someone with solid experience in:

* large-scale distributed databases
* caching system design
* distributed systems
* designing with security, reliability, and resilience in mind
* C++, Perl, Unix, Apache

And, of course, it's best if you like RSS and syndication technologies. We're bringing RSS to the masses and need your help. We have big plans for content syndication.

If you've got experience with Web Services, FreeBSD, and Internationalization that's even better.

If you're interested, send your resume in text, PDF, or HTML to jzawodn@yahoo-inc.com and put "RSS Engineer" in the subject. Send along your blog URL too. You've got one, right? :-)"

I'm not sure if he let out a secret about Yahoo's RSS plans or not, but I certainly would choose my words more carefully when calling for "RSS hackers" to send in resumes.
