i guess rss still hasn’t hit the mainstream even today.

perhaps it is the name ‘RSS’ that turns people off? and the way there’s just too many choices out there for rss readers, whether they are desktop based or web based, blah blah blah.

in a nutshell: RSS is too complicated and there’s too many choices for the average user i suppose.

but give it time!

Steve Gillmore's post obviously was "East River" material.

RSS and twitter aren't even similar tools.

"Hydrogen no longer needed now that we have Oxygen." Boy, I'm thirsty.

I think they're trying to create a wave towards Twitter, but I'll stick a bit longer with Google Reader. With this, I choose what to read without been annoyed and have to follow for courtesy.

Amen and alellujah! If there were a few more hours in the day I would have commented and/or posted on this myself. Soooooo many people don't even know what RSS is and it remains the most valuable information management tool that I have in my networking/marketing/information-sharing toolbox.

When Oprah does a show on the RSS feed, then we'll know it's hit the mainstream. Until then, I will have to agree to disagree with all the death-knelling going on with the techie-hipsters.

Call me "old-school" (again) when I say I still love the good ol' fashioned telephone AND I'll be hanging on to my RSS feed reader, which in my opinion, has PLENTY of life left in it.

Best,
