Glad that there seems to be a little bubble of activity around rebuffing the portentous idea that ‘RSS is Dead.’ RSS is a common and simple back-end utility. While the lay-person may be more familiar with front-end services like Facebook and Twitter (which, of course, heavily rely on and provide RSS) RSS is widely-used by amateur and professionals alike. Dave Winer makes summarizes the debate and offers some solutions for ‘rebooting’ RSS:
I was not able to influence the VCs who started the RSScompanies — famous companies like Newsgator and Feedburner, and not-so-famous ones. Like most VCs they thought they understood better, so they went their own way and most of their companies flopped. Feedburner made a little money for its investors by centralizing RSS and selling that to Google. Why Google wanted it is a mystery. If they wanted to strangle and kill RSS, it would have proven a very good asset, but Google hasn’t shown an interest in doing that. Maybe they just had a lot of money and it looked interesting. Who knows.
The people in the tech press never listened either — at the beginning it was CNET, and these days its TechCrunch. I keep saying the same thing over and over, the Google Reader approach is wrong, it isn’t giving you what’s new — and that’s all that matters in news.
Succinctly put — news is about what’s new — and that’s it. Keep Reading on Scripting News
