How come I’ve never heard of it? • Only 5% of Internet users 1/1/2005 use RSS • Google, Yahoo!, Amazon, MSN, AOL, most every major newspaper, weblog, and radio station in the world are behind it • Firefox and Safari browsers support it • IE 7.0 supports it • Koha, Talis support, Sirsi, III will support
If you build it, they will come • Originally put together because it was too cool not to do • Attracted a huge amount of attention very quickly – NPR & various websites • Gets about 4,000 hits a day and growing • Basically no negative feedback • The lesson: people who use it, love it
The future • Ubiquitous • Personalized • Consolidated • Painless
