The New York Times take on RSS, offering ti as a content filtering service. This isn't a bad interpretation, since as many commentators have noted, RSS feed readers are a lot more efficient that email or web browsers. "R.S.S. avoids Pointcast's pitfalls because it lets individuals request the information when they want it." Aside from that, it's a pretty basic article; note how the Times defies the convention of everyone on the planet and punctuates the name RSS. It feels weird to see it that way.
