Let's take it one level higher: is your question really "what is the fuss about RSS?" or is it your original? If you already understand RSS yet don't 'get' Google Reader, I understand that - I'm right there with you. There were/are far better ways to consume RSS for me and so GR was nothing special. If you don't 'get' RSS, then that's too big of a topic for here. You would want to search more about it.
Sorry if this comes across as pedantic - that's not my intent!
- visarga 13y agoI understand RSS and I have written programs that parse RSS feeds. I was just wondering why was Google's aggregation better. It seems it has to do with the management of feeds and read/unread items, but that is just a basic interface. I would have loved to see auto classification, user defined topics and content recommendation. That would have made a much smarter RSS tool.
