Comment about: The Death of RSS? Again?

| August 26, 2009 | | @John: I agree to a degree... a superior open protocol would be the starting point of a threat, but it would not be sufficient. | For the same reasons COBOL lives on, a superior technology will not be enough to displace the millions dollars and millions of hours already invested in the RSS infrastructure. New (better) technologies will likely simply provide ideas which will be incorporated into RSS as extensions/enhancements. This approach offers much lower adoption friction than starting from scratch with something new--even if that something is better. (Just ask the folks that used to make Beta recording tapes if that technology was better than VHS ;-) | | |
