I think there is no innovation because :
- RSS is a thing from the past. It has no "new and shiny" aspect.
- RSS is less used than email, so people are focusing on improving emails, not RSS.
- Reader was great, and did everything geeks want. Why try to improve something perfect?
- + "it is Google, Google will never kill it, because Google guys are geeks too, like us" myth.
- zanny 14y agoI don't get it, what is supposed to be "new and shiny" about "here is an RSS feed, it will provide dated articles of content to consume from a web source, browse at your leisure". It does its job. It is the only thing on the Internet that does that job. It is the definition of a perfect product... because it just works. And email is in the same class. Rich text formatted letters between individuals. I don't see how you want to "improve" that either, because it does its job right. I do agree Reader did the job and therefor didn't have room to improve. Then again, I don't like all the social parts of feeds, I just want my content in a time ordered list of chunks that I can consume at my leisure. RSS does that just fine.
