Spreading RSS

I have seen many articles around the Internet saying that RSS has failed and that RSS is only for the Tech savvy geeks out there. Take this article for instance.

I agree most of the people that use RSS are the savvy “Geek” type people. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We as in people doing podcasts and blogs and the like, need to share the knowledge of what RSS is. Because RSS is one handy thing and can help many non Geek people. Also I believe that the new RSS capabilities built into IE7 will help those new to RSS. I’m so glad that Microsoft and the IE team have built these capabilities into IE7.

But most of all the people that publish this content need to share the knowledge to these people that have not discovered the magic of RSS.

For a follow up on IE7 and RSS check out this Channel 9 Video that interviews people from the IE7 RSS Team.
