I think some are missing the point when we say "RSS as a Facebook alternative".
Yeah, current feed readers will not replace Facebook.
RSS as an exchange medium of content (in my naive opinion) can replace Facebook. It's just that a project needs to build around it.
Follow friends? Click "Follow" in UI, it subscribes to their feed.
Live streams? Live stream link can be contained in the RSS feed, subscribers see it in their feed.
Facebook groups? Same as users, just a subscription to an RSS feed.
Security? Perhaps feed content is encrypted, and only Friends can decrypt? Exchange of keys at Friending could provide this functionality?
It would take a lot of work to make this decentralised, secure, private, and usable to regular users. But I think this kind of model sounds much nicer than what is currently on offer. What do others think?
