Why RSS will never be mainstream...

Here is the title an article from the blog Presse Citron by Eric Dupin. He wonders why RSS feeds are not getting through to the general public.

He summarizes with these words:

Need help?

Reading content isn't everything. The best way is to talk to us.


  • With RSS feeds we have an ideal technology for internet monitoring.
  • this one is intended above all for "professionals".
  • it does not correspond to a massive need of the general public.
  • geek-bloggers and watchdog professionals use RSS, like doctors use the Vidal. But we never imagined that the Vidal would be a best-seller one day (let alone receive a literary prize).

Here is an interesting article that I invite you to read.

I've been involved in email marketing for over ten years, and my career path began on the technical side (email campaign integration) before moving on to sales (as an eCRM expert) and finally marketing consultancy. For the past 9 years, I've been the author of the Badsender.com blog. Emailing isn't just an expertise, it's truly become my passion, which is why Badsender is now my main activity, with the creation of an emailing consulting business linked to the site.

    Another reason is that... URIs are very, very resistant to "aging". For example, your link at the bottom of the article...

    Broken: lemon press changed its URI. So I follow the link and poof, home page. Search from this home page and I find the text in question. It's already not funny.

    When you have the same thing with an aggregator, it becomes really annoying. No more feed, that's all. You have to go and see why and discover the possible new thread. In the "one click" world, I don't want to know I want it to work, it's not at all mainstream that, indeed 😉

    But it's "the fault of" those who often break uri's 😉
