Really Stressful Syndication

François Joseph de Kermadec (which is a great name if you ask me) has a post at macdevcenter.com with his theory on why RSS adoption is so low. He writes that "the root of the issue is not to be found in how the technology is presented but in the technology itself." He feels that "RSS puts constant pressure on us" and that most people want to be able to "entertain the obviously false notion that [they are] on top of [their] material." While it is true that ignoring information is easier than processing it, I feel that RSS is an amazing tool to help people stay up-to-date with the huge volume of info out there - I think that the obstacle is that most people still don't have any clue what it is or how to use it.
