I don't think this statement is actually true:
"Ever since Facebook pioneered the concept of the News Feed, a constantly updating stream of communications to keep you in the loop..."
(Twitter, and possibly even RSS feeds before that)
(Twitter, and possibly even RSS feeds before that)
I wouldn't say that a news feed and RSS are synonymous. RSS was not accessible, nor was it really for distributing user created content, it was more for blog posts and news. Those aren't the type of communications I was talking about.
