On the substance of the article, it's not "repurposing" RSS to use it in ways beyond traditional feed readers. RSS has always been an open syndication format, and still has plenty of uses.

RSS may not be dead, but punctuation apparently is. I thought there was a typo in the post on HN, but it turns out that this little run-on headline is in the actual post. The rest of the post is even worse grammatically.
Hey guys, if you're going to write on your company's blog, invest in a bit of proofreading. Bad posts reflect negatively on not only you, but your startup also.
- Groxx 16y agoI wonder if they've rewritten it somewhat; the headline now has a comma, and most of the post isn't too far from being entirely grammatically correct. It's closer to conversational English than many blog posts, but that's no crime against language. They could use a few semicolons in place of some of those periods, though; especially where it starts to get period-heavy near the end.
- teaspoon 16y agoWhile we're on the topic, you shouldn't have a semicolon in that last sentence; the right side is not an independent clause.
