RSS Supply and Demand

I think I could post thoughts about any post done by Matt McAlister and today's is no different. He gives a little history of the relationship between producers and consumers of content since the mid-90's.

Back then, you could browse a few sites and feel like you weren't really missing out on anything. Now, it is totally different. I've been blogging since 1999 and I'm still finding new blogs I want to pay attention to. Of course now I do that via RSS instead of having to check whether or not a site has been updated.

This use of RSS to control the spout of information is something that is still in its infancy in my opinion. The more things you are able to subscribe to, the better your information will be, no matter the topic.
