dating 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 16y 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.
