Actually, quite a few of these ideas persistently succeed. Dating sites, t-shirts, rss readers -- how many times have those worked since the dawn of the Internet?
- zalew 15y agodating sites and tshirts will never die, but rss readers are a blast from the past - even firefox removed the icon because people didn't use it. rss is essential to provide content for web services when you don't have an api, but on the user end it's not used anymore due to social newsstreams, dashboards, etc.
- smclintock 15y agoI'm not entirely sure actually - I think that the majority (if not all) of RSS readers are out dated and lack "social" features that are necessary for them to succeed. I'd list some of my ideas here but I'm currently building a very simple "RSS reader" that might solve the problem - it'll be at http://www.northpad.com http://www.northpad.com when it's finished.
