Not sure when it was alive. My circle of friends includes some people who I'd consider fairly technical people including a lot of programmers (as a percentage) and I'm the only one who uses an RSS reader. Some people use Twitter but no one uses an RSS reader. I often ask candidates during interviews if they read any blogs and only one person over the years has ever said yes and he used Google Reader to keep up with it all.
