Comments on: RSS is dead? Not hardly. http://www.indygeek.net/2009/05/06/rss-is-dead-not-hardly/ Indianapolis' premier resource for all things geek Thu, 09 Sep 2010 13:59:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: dude http://www.indygeek.net/2009/05/06/rss-is-dead-not-hardly/#comment-21 dude Wed, 06 May 2009 23:16:15 +0000 http://www.techyuppie.com/?p=338#comment-21 RSS is dead because it´s too "advanced" for the regular joe sixpack. Personally I use NetNewsWire everyday, but I realize that 95% of people will never find RSS a practical way of finding information. Twitter is one of many many winners here, Facebook is another, digg, youtube among other - but the biggest winner I guess we haven´t seen yet, it´s probably some twitter-a-like side where you can easily "add" feeds through some useful interface and not some google reader crap. Got this strange feeling we´re only seeing the beginning of "smart" sites coming, most big sites we know will probably go away and new ones will come to replace them. All in all we the users; techy or not are the winners. RSS is dead because it´s too “advanced” for the regular joe sixpack.
