I spend more time on RSS each day than probably any other tool, except maybe email (sorry Luis). And RSS is at the core of things like the PLENK2010 course. So no, I don't think that RSS is going away, and that's why I appreciate this defense of it. "RSS feed readers will come and go," writes Luis Suarez, "just like with any other Internet (social) tool available out there... However, that's not where our focus should be. Our focus should be on the behaviours; on the task at hand; on building the good habit of ensuring people understand and comprehend fully, so they can adopt it successfully, key concepts like aggregation of relevant content or subscribing to the content that matters to them."
