The only problem I foresee is that all this will need additional bandwidth and is going to be an unexpected reason to get even faster broadband! Yes, checking email or RSS is only a few packets - but when you are doing it all the time for 10 different email addresses, as well as surfing the net and downloading bit torrents of last weeks TV as well as auto downloading PC patches, the ammount of data we need just to keep still is quite mind blowing!

I really think that the conversation is focussed on the wrong topic. Is RSS temporary or long term - it's like saying that about art. It could be one or the other - does it matter? So then, what does matter? In the decades to come what I'd like to see is protection of the source for the creator. Thanks for the link!
