RSS is Dead, Long Live RSS. RSS is a wonderful technology that allows us to keep track of hundreds of websites without ever leaving our RSS reader, however, many of us have abandoned our bloated RSS subscriptions.
I am one of you. For the past 3 years Google Reader has been my primary pipeline for discovering and reading the latest and greatest around the web but it has simply lost its usefulness the past 6 months. It’s value did not diminish due solely to the content but more so because I chose not to manage it well.
