An interesting post from Matt McAlister over at InfoWorld which asks, "What is the future of Web sites in a world of RSS?"
The day InfoWorld's top news RSS feed received more requests than our home page, I started thinking a frightening thought: RSS is doing to the Web today what the Web has been doing to print for the last several years. We have disintermediated our Web site by offering our news in an easier to access format...again. Just as the Web ultimately created more opportunity rather than less, RSS will open up some new doors for the media business.
RSS is just in its infancy. See also Russell Beattie's comment on RSS feeds which don't correspond to an HTML document.
