RSS is Dead
I just read an interesting article about RSS feeds. If you don’t know what they are then you are too late to the party because they are dying a quick death thanks to Twitter and other similar applications. It used to be something that you desperately wanted people to subscribe to, after all if they liked what you wrote enough they might save it as a feed and then hopefully return to your site or blog or whatever it is that was feeding them information. But I can admit I never really liked RSS. While it was simple enough to use and convenient I guess I just preferred going to all the sites that I found interesting. To me it was like saving every site you stumble across as a favorite. Soon your favorites are cluttered and full and your actual favorites, the ones you return to on a regular basis are a tiny percentage of how many you actually have saved. Sure it’s nice to go through the list once in a while to see a site you might have forgotten about but how often do you find yourself doing this? I remember trying to desperately to save my favorites list from computer to computer because over the years I had found so many neat and obscure sites. But what I found interesting back then probably isn’t so interesting now, that is unless you still love all your base belong to us…
So I can see RSS dying. It just doesn’t have the feel of a Tweet. It doesn’t seem as fresh. It’s not as open. Well just read the article and see if you agree.
