With RSS Lying In A Ditch, Lifeless, Pulse Finds Life Beyond It

- rexf 16y agoThis is yet another TC post without substance. Pulse is using APIs to pull content from popular sites (which is a smart move). This is not "moving beyond RSS" as the post claims since Pulse still uses RSS for news and content. RSS is not very accessible or used by most internet users, but RSS is still heavily in use today. RSS is not "face down in a ditch" as the sensationalist post title claims. There is much room for a better alternative (pubsubhubbub? etc) to RSS, but RSS is not dead today.
- Semiapies 16y agoYeah, I'm slowly approaching the threatened point of just automatically flagging every TC post I see.
- Semiapies 16y ago"And while RSS isn’t exactly dead as in gone, it is dead in that the vast majority of people who consume content on the web have absolutely no idea what it is and will never know what it is." Like TCP/IP. Dead, man. Mind, it's a good thing that I'm seeing designers twig to the fact that labeling feeds "RSS" doesn't mean anything to most people and watching them instead start to label feeds "Subscribe" or "Follow".
- iampims 16y agoRSS is a standard for content syndication. It doesn't have to be exposed to ”end users”. But it sure isn't dying as a syndication layer for pretty consumer facing apps.
- wccrawford 16y agoAnd again, another story I found by reading an RSS feed about how RSS feeds are SO dead. -sigh-
