RSS is dead

RSS changed the way we processed information, by turning search into push and content into people. Before RSS, I patrolled the Web for news.

Once a big advocate for Google Reader, I have to admit that I haven’t logged in in weeks, maybe months. That’s not to say I’m not reading. Sometimes I feel like reading - and writing this blog - are the only things I do. But my sources of for reading material are scattered across the Web, not in one aggregated spot.
http://scobleizer.com/2009/08/26/rss-interesting-or-boring-hint-marshallk-and-louisgray-were-not-normal/ My answer to Marshall: I’m not in the news business anymore, but if I were I’d keep Twitter up on screen. I’ve been looking closely at Google Reader’s latest features, Twitter, Facebook, and FriendFeed and I gotta say that most of what shows up on TechMeme shows up in my Twitter feed up to a day earlier. Over the past two weeks I’ve been doing a little experiment: can I outrace TechMeme and TechCrunch and ReadWriteWeb and all the others? The answer is a resounding YES.

http://marshallk.com/if-you-think-rss-is-dead-then-thats-your-loss-and-its-a-big-one I will tell you that I no longer use Google Reader or Netvibes. Instead, I use open source software on our own servers that is more customizable, more reliable and more efficient.

Les flux RSS ne sont pas grand public Un autre fait: le grand public n'a pas adopté les flux RSS. Aux Etats-Unis, 9% des internautes utilisent un lecteur de flux RSS (contre 11% l'an dernier) et 50% vont sur les réseaux sociaux et 39% lisent des blogs . En filigrane, on comprend aussi dans son article que Google reader , ça n'est pas très pratique. http://crisedanslesmedias.hautetfort.com/archive/2009/09/05/cf642ebb075459b25aaf9c813801c9b1.html
