This 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.
