With Google Reader closing its doors the “Is RSS Dead?” debate has been revived. As someone who loves RSS(enough to write a Chrome Extension) but never liked Google Reader I’d like my turn on the soapbox. Since my first usage of Firefox(ver 1.5) I have always loved its live bookmarks feature(but not the read/unread indicators). RSS readers shouldn’t be email clones. They should expect us to ignore items and act as a consistent, omnipresent and minimal interface to the internet.
