Comment Yahoo as RSS integrator - Good job! (Score 1) 284

The reason this is so low is probably because the majority of Mom & Pop internet users does not know how to get an RSS feed to their computer. If AOL adds some mega big RSS reading mechanism, then the technology will be readily adopted. Your 'average' internet user does not know the technologies underlying how that webpage gets to their browser(thus the abundance of spyware and virii in the wild, but I won't go there more than this little jab). I know some may hate their service, but Yahoo in my opinion has done this right. I get every feed I want from News to shopping deals to my sports teams latest info all on one page along with my personal calendar, my spam email account, my weather, and my TV listings. This one stop shop has greatly reduced the amount of time I spend navigating across 20 some bookmarks to get information. I just wish RSS was a little more flexible to where I could be the one to determine how the 'query' was being done to get the articles. The fact that most RSS syndicators pre-feed their news actually requires me to go get more content than I want.
