Ask HN: Who wants to help promote RSS?
I almost never find something I want to follow that doesn&#x27;t have a feed.<p>As someone pointed out to me, most of the RSS nostalgia is really more <i>Google Reader</i> nostalgia.  I found that weird as it wasn&#x27;t the first or the last RSS reader I used, but it was the reader that made RSS closest to mainstream.  And for many people, it was the <i>only</i> reader they ever used, and so they&#x27;re completely unaware of the ecosystem of web-based readers that sprung back up after it died or of the stand-alone apps that never went away.<p>And that makes me think trying to get RSS wired into browsers is unnecessary.  Just make people aware of the web-based readers.  For example, I&#x27;d say Feedbin is <i>better</i> than Google Reader was, and it&#x27;s probably not the only one that is.  It solves the Twitter problem, and you can even point email newsletters at it.  I use the Hell out of it and cheerfully pay, which has helped cover upgrades as the guy&#x27;s gotten more customers.<p>(Also, since it always comes up, people shouldn&#x27;t obsess with trying to get all content into the RSS feed.  It&#x27;s always been perfectly reasonable to just put a summary or title in the feed.)
