The RSS Challenge

Lots of interesting things happening in the RSS space. MediaPost Daily (free registration required) has an interesting run-down on the anxiety level among mostly ad-sponsored publishers concerned that the pressure to deploy RSS feeds could eat into their bottom line. MediaMusings talks about one solution – customized, branded RSS readers like C|net’s Newsburst. I’ve fooled around with the C|Net application, and the interface/organization of items doesn’t thrill me. It’s still beta, and I’ll continue to fool around with it. But for my true RSS fix, I’ll continue to stick with zFeeder for now.
