I just get so sick of these big claims that they write to sound as if they have inside knowledge and everyone should look up to them. Annoys me so bad! @Ranjit P - I saw your blog :) It was right on the money about RSS. And for sure, alot of the crap they write must be to generate controversy. Because it sure as hell isn't educational. @Jennifer S – For sure.

The irony, as some folks pointed out, was that Twitter grew out of an experiment in "group syndication" with RSS. RSS is plumbing, like DNS. The major reason for RSS’ lack of widespread use is that RSS Readers require users to know (or at least acknowledge) the existence of RSS. It’s like having to type IP addresses into a browser.

Some of us do have more than a 140 character attention span, and some people don't have time to sort through the chaff to get to the wheat. And there are even some of us who enjoy a well developed argument and fully spelled words. :) Thanks for this post.
