I've been seeing RSS gaining more and more popularity over the last
years and I simply do not understand why. Why is RSS so great? What
does it do that is so great and wonderful? The only thing it seems to
have over anything else is that it's using XMLwith a standardized
format. Other than that, RSS seems to me to be not any more useful
than, say, a daily e-mail with news (or whatever) from whatever you're
getting the RSS from.
