Firefox removes core product support for RSS/Atom feeds
I think I've come full circle on this...<p>(I was one of the creators of RSS).<p>My current company, Datastreamer:<p><a href="http://www.datastreamer.io/" rel="nofollow">http://www.datastreamer.io/</a><p>Provides social media data streams for companies and search engines wanting full torrents of web content.<p>We deprecated RSS a LONG time ago, which was for me, like abandoning your baby.<p>I think RSS is dead in many ways but it's also still around in a sense.<p>Mostly because of Twitter and Facebook metadata. You can accomplish 90% of what you want with RSS just by parsing the metadata on an HTML page.<p>Because we've added NLP and content extraction algorithms on top of the content we're able to re-construct feeds that are better than the original RSS.<p>With another app I'm working on:<p><a href="https://getpolarized.io/" rel="nofollow">https://getpolarized.io/</a><p>I might actually use something similar to build in data feeds similar to a feed reader.<p>But man.. I can't believe I'm thinking about building in a feed reader again :-P
