Maybe I'm being naive here: Where is the alternative to RSS? I live in a small happy world (I use feeds heavily with gwene.org and Emacs Gnus as my reader and I like the experience). How am I (or anyone else) supposed to consume content from blogs? I cannot a believe a technology would simply die without there being something better. Am I living under a rock and just haven't seen the RSS-killer?
