Ask HN: Why hasn't Facebook added RSS?
If I were Facebook, I would add an RSS section to the site.
People already use Facebook, but adding RSS would give them more information on what sites I value. Furthermore, it would make it easier for me to share the articles that I value through its site.
Although as a user I might be leery of using Facebook for RSS, there would be a lot of benefit for Facebook and the users.
Side benefit, with facebook buttons on practically every site - it would be trivial to add a subscribe button and then it would auto-populate the RSS into users accounts.
- Lightning 14y agoBecause then you'll spend more time in your RSS reader and less time on Facebook.
- subv3rsion 14y agoExactly because Facebook cannot monetize it, nor could Facebook deliver their advertisements.
