I remember a life before RSS. You would literally subscribe to online news emails delivered to your email inbox on a daily basis. And for me it was a Hotmail email inbox with a USA TODAY email delivery.
Every morning, a USA TODAY news email delivery in my Hotmail inbox.
Then came RSS. I didn't understand or pay attention.
Time passed. People died. People claimed RSS died. Podcasts rose into popularity.
I began paying attention to podcasts. And began subscribing to them via RSS via an Android App. I am doing this still, now, today.
For me RSS is not dead. I actively look out for RSS feeds on podcasts, online web comics, and similar.
I understand that Google Reader had a "bull in china shop" influence against RSS, but for people like me there is still RSS.
The way I remember life before rss was adding a site to my favorite list then visiting them all on friday night and saturday morning to see what was new.
