It’s interesting to me how once a topic surfaces, it seems to shake itself out in a variety of places. That’s what seems to have happened around the topic RSS for me. Last week at Translator lab hours we landed in an interesting discussion about RSS and the collective’s use of the tool. At a presentation @suespaight and I were lucky to be a part of last Friday at @c2gps, the question was asked whether RSS was a viable “tactic” anymore. And over the weekend, my friend @raffel launched a blog entry about his use of RSS and instruction on how to make the most of it. Check out the post… it’s really good.

While the discussion and questions focused around the technology of RSS and the option as it stands, I think the broader debate is our want, need and ability to filter the overwhelming amount of information available today.
