Fixing RSS?

While I’m not convinced that RSS as a concept/name is broken, other people are. Suggestions on calling it “Subscribing” and encouraging people to downloads “Readers” seem pretty basic. The “Recommendation” concept is interesting as well, although isn’t that what blogging is for?

In the end, I’m not sure these suggestions really fix anything. At best, they probably sanitize the concept of RSS and remove references to the people and their ideas that have made RSS what it is today.

    Heh, I’m a little amused at the sanitation idea. “Really Simple Syndication” has done a very good job of airbrushing the original developers of RSS and related tech out of the picture. compare and contrast.
