readwriteweb.com— With Microsoft's IE7 just around the corner and the other big Internet companies upgrading key information management products, 2007 is going to be the 'make it or break it' year for RSS.

I know someone's going to yell at me for this ...But what the hell's the point of RSS? Why have a feed when I can just visit the website? Ir genuinely don't get it.
yep, people too busy to read everything cause too much crap on the net or they pretending to be busy :~this xml and rss kinda r0x but f**k those idiots who use XML config files like @tomcat team, jboss team@ or gnome,xfce... developers, its really annoying to edit them by hand.
@tomi"Hmm, RSS has been in Mozilla Thunderbird for a while now, and I don't think anyone's ever mentioned anything about it."I personally use Thunderbird but considering what little marketshare and little exposure they have to non-techies this is not suprising.
I created a RSS feed over at mySiteFeed.com during their beta test, and am definitely seeing an uptick, too. IE 7 RC2 is getting more mainstream, and more people are falling in love with Firefox and Thunderbird.

I think this is news because now RSS will be more accessible to the general public who tend to use IE rather than Mozilla.

I agree. It saves time and bandwidth.

2007 could very well be the year for mainstream adoption of RSS. We are already seeing an uptick in usage of our feeds from beta users at <a class="user" href="http://www.newslookup.com/Feeds/">http://www.newslookup.com/Feeds/</a>

And it doesn't matter how many embed ads because I use a web based reader and my Adblock Firefox extension blocks them all.
