Missing RSS Doesn't Hurt

I’ve written before that I love reading my RSS feeds, but I often get behind and end up missing a lot. The more I think about it, it’s like the morning newspaper. It appears in the morning and is packed with interesting information that could benefit me during the day. But, if the newspaper goes straight to recycle bin, I experience no pain.

The big point here is that reading RSS feeds can be a positive, but missing them doesn’t create a negative, for me at least. Yesterday’s news is yesterday’s news.

I wonder if this will be the role of RSS in the future, or if it will start to move to more into the realm of the mailed letter, where it hurts to miss it?

CNet RSS Video

Six months to a year ago I felt like RSS was just about to go mainstream. It seemed to be everywhere. While I do think it will become a standard eventually, I still don't hear many non-geeks singing the praises of RSS.
