Topic: Getting, Sharing Information

Headline: RSS Feeds = dramatic change

Nutshell: RSS feeds will change how people use and experience the internet as much as the change from text-based internet to WWW.

Feeds give the user control over information flow, can be combined in many ways, and allow users to parse and filter information to suit their needs and desires. We’re only seeing the beginning of radical changes that will arise from the widespread use of feeds.
