- theBobMcCormick 17y agoWhy yes, yes I have used my RSS reader. I use it quite regularly. Unlike twitters stupid 140 char limit, RSS gives me enough information right in the reader to know if the article in question is worth clicking on to read more (not to mention, most sites let you read the whole article right in the RSS feed). I've dabbled a bit with twitter, and to me at least it doesn't seem even remotely likely to displace RSS. Now, if I could find more high quality social news sites like HackerNews, MetaFilter, etc. THAT might supplant my RSS reader.
- elblanco 17y agoWell, from the article alone it mentions Miley Cyrus & Stephen Fry. I know Summer Glau, Seth MacFarlane, Judd Apatow, Nelly Furtado, Larry David, Denzel Washington and JJ Abrams have all left among probably many others. The trajectory is exactly like a fad, some popular people do it, everybody does it, it becomes mundane, then popular people leave, everybody leaves, fast forward 10 years and everybody makes fun of it.
