Speaking as a Firefox fan, I believe that there is one area where IE 7 will spank Firefox - RSS subscriptions. Even in beta, the new Web browser makes subscribing to your favorite media sources a whole lot easier.

What makes this even more exciting and quite frankly important; the fact the newer RSS users will be able to use the feeds without dealing with external aggregators. Speaking on behalf of people the millions that do not understand RSS, this is a step in the right direction

Chances are, you’re not entirely sure what the point of RSS is. I saw that little orange icon in Firefox, I’ve also seen their “live bookmarks” feature, which just looks cumbersome, and just never thought it could be helpful to me. Now, I wouldn’t live without it. Here’s why.

If you’re like me, you have a ton of sites bookmarked or on your favorites list, depending on your browser of choice. That browser should be Firefox, by the way, but that’s beside the point. You may have evolved and developed a list of maybe five, ten, fifteen sites you check every day to “stay in touch.” RSS is a way you can be MORE in touch — with a higher number of sites — while doing less work.
