RSS has largely become invisible. Many CMSs just support it, which is great if you use RSS, and irrelevant if you don't. Many RSS readers are flexible enough to find the feed if you point at a site's base URL too, so while that implicit contract is in place, life is good. However, that very invisibility might prove to be its downfall: RSS is so incredibly useful to those who know about it that the only way to keep it going is for those of us who create to ensure our platforms keep creating it. I miss seeing that little orange RSS icon though. edit: I also miss seeing Dave Winer comment on threads like this!
