Harold Check responds to an article from Alex Barnett at MSDN. In the article, Alex says:
Don’t write off RSS because it was invented 5 years ago and ’still’ isn’t at ‘mass use’. If XML, IM and P2P (depending on how you define P2P) - are anything to go by (technologies that ride on the infrastructure that itself took decades to make prime time) RSS has another 3 years before it can be judged as ‘having made it’ or not.
Alex goes on to give examples of ubiquitous technology that took time to mature: TCP/IP, HTTP, the browser, and IM. It’s an interesting debate. Personally, I think RSS and Atom still have a ways to go (see my previous post), but obviously, I feel it is a powerful technology with awesome opportunity.
