Comment about: The Death of RSS? Again?

| September 01, 2009 | | @Tinu: Spot on! The tricky part is deciding where the center of your web universe is. | Your analogy is excellent: RSS should be as visible to users as HTML. And you're right that none of the browsers have done a stellar job in dealing with RSS. (Some are better than others, but none are stellar.)
But... I'm not sure if a browser did do a stellar job with RSS if that would eliminate the need for Google Reader (or something similar).
The problem is that I don't want to be locked into a specific browser. I want the freedom to use whatever browser is best for a given use/context/machine/etc. This suggests that the "reader" function cannot be integral to a given browser but must itself be a web service available from any browser--enter Google Reader. | | |
