Today RSS Goes Mainstream
Tuesday, January 30th, 2007With the global launch of Windows Vista today, RSS is going to get a lot more mainstream. Windows Vista, Internet Explorer 7 and MS Office 2007 all have RSS features incorporated into them. Outlook 2007 users will be able to subscribe to and consume RSS content as easily as they do with their email.
I’ve not personally tried Windows Vista, but from everything I read it’s going to be a lot easier now to for Vista users to detect, subscribe to and consume RSS content–all without needing to even know what RSS is. This is a good thing for RSS content creators and publishers. The more RSS consumption becomes as easy as listening to the radio or using email, the higher up the consumer adoption curve we’ll go.
