I don't think that is the problem. It's more a problem of explaining the concept and having good readers. Even I, when I started reading feeds, spent a long time trying to find a reader and setting it up (Google Reader, by the way).
Contrast with Twitter - easy to explain the concept, 5 seconds to sign up and get started.
