RSS is great. I think it might have suffered a bit due to its associations with the childish behavior of a group of supposed adults (one in particular) squabbling over credit and control over something as trivial as the RSS spec. Many so-called RSS feeds actually use the superior Atom specification, which was described early on by at least one of its authors as “RSS without the psychopaths”.
