Abstract
This project looks at using RSS protocols to create an environment that causes more geospatial portals users to become long-term users. RSS is a syndication method for delivering content to users. By pushing content to users on a timely basis one can address the three-stated user loss factors. For the novelty and stagnation factor providing an active content delivery system that sends timely information to the user will continually peak the user interest in the geospatial portal. Currently, most RSS aggregator software collects syndicated information solely based on time. This method works well for the content providers of aspatial information. By customizing the RSS aggregator software to collect based on both time and location the RSS protocol can work for location based services automatically.
