I trust that what Mark says is true, but, as always, I have questions:

1. 
   
   What does he mean by ”they don’t work very hard at finding RSS feeds?”


2. 
   
   What does he mean by ”stubborn insistence on making RSS visible?”

I thought my choice of subscriptions determined which RSS feeds my news aggregator would go find. However, I have seen some intermittent results with Radio Userland’s news aggregator. That usually takes the form of a site that I’m subscribed to and I know has an update not coming through in my next refresh of the news aggregator. Maybe that’s what he means by ”not working very hard.” The visibility issue is a mystery to me.

Ultra-liberal RSS locator. One of my biggest pet peeves about the current generation of news aggregators is that they dont work very hard at finding RSS feeds. The other side of this coin is their stubborn insistence on making RSS visible. RSS should be completely invisible. (573 words) [dive into mark]
