What I find particularly intersting in this article is the quote "And RSS is increasingly becoming the principal means of real-time communication." Quite a feat in this day and age. I also and very intrigued by the final paragraph when it explains how RSS is so standardized that it functions properly across all platforms. The possibilities of using RSS seem almost limitless as far as Information Business is concerned. It seems that ever since I heard of RSS the first time this semester I have seen it everywhere. I am beginning to wonder why I had never heard of it before. I think what RSS is lacking right now is a large following from the common computer user. It seems the dedicated techie knows all about the great perks of RSS, but "Average Joe Home PC User" who only uses his computer to word process, internet shop, and listen to music has no idea what he is missing. I wonder how long it will take for RSS to gain a larger following from the lay crowd.
