• Who will be first to benefit, Users or SPAMMERS?? Guest (malcus) on 12/07/2005 at 11:06 PM

  RSS is still in its infancy. It hasnt been widely adopted. New tools are being introduced daily to make it easier, but Im predicting itll still be at least 5 years before the technology has any significant market penetration for average users. Meanwhile the SPAMMERS see the potential for this tool and are aggressively developing new tools to exploit the medium. Once RSS becomes too SPAM-laden, it will go the way of email marketing--commodity and barely useful. Some other technology will have to rise up and replace it. The million $$ dollar question is which will happen first--widespread adoption of RSS for legitimate purposes, or SPAM-saturation RSS that eventually renders the technology useless?
