http://groups.google.com/group/simplestorefront A public discussion group about the SSD (Simple Storefront Distribution) specification. SSD is a web content distribution method used by E-Commerce websites to share catalog data in a format easily interpreted by computer software. SSD is based on XML 1.0 and modeled after the RSS 2.0 specification. 2008-03-28T11:56:23Z Google Groups Miguel Gonzalez migu...@gmail.com 2008-03-28T11:56:23Z http://groups.google.com/group/simplestorefront/browse_thread/thread/61743785265bbfa2/9f913b435ba6d10f?show_docid=9f913b435ba6d10f

I agree, I honestly think I wrote it a little before its time. That's <br> sort of why I still keep the site up, I'm thinking one day someone might <br> have an aha moment.

i just found it hard to believe this didn't take off in popularity. <br> Taking an rss approach to promote products just seemed natural.

Thanks for getting in touch with me regarding SSD. Honestly, I didn't <br> pursue things further because of advancement in my career (lack of <br> time). Categories would be handled in the taxonomy section of an SSD <br> document. <br> If you want to use the specification for anything, feel free to do so. I <br> would be willing to help as much as I can.

referral fees based on this idea would be a good idea. <br> I realize this is out of the scope of the discussion regarding the <br> specification and can be added to the product's url, but still <br> something worth looking at.

are you still planning on working on this? i think this is a great <br> idea. <br> what about categories of the product?

My first project using SSD is creating a &quot;virtual store&quot; using the SSD <br> feed on <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.caminoviejo.com/ssd.xml">[link]</a>. I am using ASP.NET and XSL <br> to transform the feed into a usable catalog. I will post back here with <br> the code when I'm finished with it. <br> I would love to setup something like froogle.com or priceline.com using

Hi, nice idea, how about actually showing how this feed can be used in <br> a web page?

How much for a box of cubans?

A have create a rudimentary example feed using the basic required <br> values of SSD 1.0 for my E-Commerce cigar shop. The feed can be found <br> at <a target="_blank" rel=nofollow href="http://www.caminoviejo.com/ssd.xml">[link]</a>.
