Theater of My Mind05/06/2009
“ Today, RSS is a shell of its former self, casually subsumed as the transport for 140+ content into the social stream. There, RSS items are fed into aggregators and husked for their behavioral signals, packaged as Tweets and sold for pennies on the whuffie dollar. The mainstream media, once cowed by the fulltexters, now masquerades as blog sites and competes for shortened URLs alongside the bloggers they deride under their breath. „
Never in my life have I read such bullshit from someone I respect. Gillmor’s a smart guy, but this is just pure linkbaiting garbage. The idea that Twitter can replace RSS reminds me of the dopes who swore video conferencing would replace face to face meetings. Hint: they haven’t.
