Cut'n'paste

Below is a comment I recently posted on my friend Ben Barren's blog- www.benbarren.blogspot.com.

THE key thing to remember about RSS (IMHO) is that it is all about making it easier to get the information you want, when you want it and in a form that is convenient to you. Other than to the people directly involved in "the RSS industry" it is NOT an end in itself and if it is ever to cross over to mainstream (remember that is a GOOD thing) the reason will be that it is USEFUL and not that it is cool technology. Obviously, to become genuinely popular it needs to (1) work and (2) be easy to use and understand.
