RE: The Death of RSS? Again?

I'm with you Andy,  I think RSS is going to be with us for a long time.  The critics of RSS are the same people who told us EDI would be replaced by web tools...

Neither Twitter or Facebook offer a superior open protocol for web data exchange.  Even if individuals knowingly use Facebook or Twitter more than RSS, the sites they visit and even the social media applications they use will continue to depend on RSS for content syndication.

Two of the fastest growing social media tools are Ping.FM and HelloTXT.com.  One of the most popular features of these social media update and syndication tools is their ability to to publish social media updates driven by RSS feeds.
