Why bother? The troves of people who cried at Google Reader shutting
down would say otherwise. RSS is "dying" because companies like
Google, Facebook, Twitter want to *own* the flow of information, and
they can't do that when the world uses open plumbing. This is BS.
I certainly want an open Internet, one where a filter bubble doesn't
exist. Right now, the plumbing we have for this is RSS and Atom. To a
lesser degree, I guess XMPP (see the efforts of the early autonomo.us
