widely available method of syndicating info between sites. Well not between
ColdFusion sites and PHP sites anyway. It's another myth that goes along
with "98% of web browsers have Flash already installed".**
The fact is, that in all these weeks and weeks of looking, there is NO ONE
on the PHP side of things that knows how to use a web service generated by
Coldfusion. They know how to use RSS feeds and that's all. They wont learn
if they don't know, and won't share if they do know.
And there's no one on the ColdFusion side who knows how to tell PHP
developers what do to so they can use their webservice. It's a big fiction
that web services create interchangeable information streams.
So .. if you produce a web service, you can share it with ColdFusion sites
and maybe .ASP sites but don't expect to be able to share it with PHP sites.
And also expect to be accused of incompetence and of producing invalid code
because PHP developers don't have a clue and wont learn.
This is the first time in over 4 years of working with ColdFusion that I
have been completely unable to achieve what I need to do with a web site.
For the first time I have to take a service off my site, saying it's no
longer to be offered to PHP users.

(** the myth about 98% of web browsers having Flash installed is only
technically true. That many browsers might have *SOME VERSION* of Flash,
but if you use recent versions of flash, the vast majority of users will
still have to download the player.)
