While in one of his recent articles, Jakob supports the concept of nanopublishing, he falls into the water by supporting an antiquated method for keeping Internet audiences up-to-date: “Encourage users to return; use mechanisms such as newsletters as a reminder.” Would somebody please smack this man out of 1995? He goes on to say: “It’s healthy to remember that users are selfish, lazy, and ruthless.” Yes, this is just ONE of the reasons why RSS is going to bury e-mail as a means of information distribution.
“useit.com: usable information technology.” So, why is it that when I search the site for “RSS,” it comes back with: “Error: rss was not found?” I remain unimpressed, and quite disappointed.
