RSS is dead? Really?
RSS is not a "hot" idea, and nobody with a short attention span would give you money to work on it, but here are some assorted articles that I wouldn't have read or linked to without it.
Bonus: since RSS is not really a mass medium, you can easily offer a full feed without worrying about undermining your traffic.
(I guess that RSS could also be a way to break through the bubble of social groupthink. I don't know how many of the people I'm connected to on social sites would have forwarded this stuff.)
