RSSBus (Really Simple Service Bus) is an architecture aiming at the creation of service buses using RSS, published by /n software inc While sometime referring to the concept of the Enterprise Service Bus in its whitepaper, RSSBus is really different and aims at extending the individual use of RSS feeds.

This architecture shares a lot of features with Yahoo! Pipes, however while Yahoo's software needs no installation(as it is a Web Application), the RSSBus tools needs to be installed.

Use Case Example
Here are two example of what can be done with this architecture:
 * Creating a RSS feed with the list of folders on a local computer
 * Creating a RSS feed with the statement of one's bank account

Philosophy
According to /n software inc a RSS feed is a Web Service: "'The simple answer is: 'RSS Feeds are Web Services'. Whether that answer is acceptable to you or not depends of course on your definition of a Web Service.'"

This assumption is based on the REST point of view of Web Services.
