Reading Nielsen's quotes used to make me curse, but I really see him as a pundit whose era passed him by.
Most of his pronouncements in this article show a shocking resistance to the current directions of the web. His 82% of user are unaware of RSS almost directly correlates with a MSFT browser share - and it being unable to handle it. You've got a massive population frustrated by the lack of tools to monitor fresh web content, including blogs, that will suddenly tune into the infinite channel network of the web, because they can do it without wasting their time visiting sites serially. So in a year or so when Vista and a new Explorer are launched watch that RSS/Atom, etc penetration explode.
Ooh, sesh-ual that.
