From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's part of the RSS 2.0 standard. Of course it requires adoption by feed publishers.

rssCloud

Oh neat! I didn't know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

No I'm sorry, I pull my feeds manually using a barebones reader. I'm guessing your best bet is one of the web-based readers as it would require a client with a TCP port that's reachable from the web. I have never seen a feed who provided the rssCloud feature though.

Literally nothing uses rssCloud. WebSub is what you want.
