Let’s retire RSS when they retire Google Reader

"More important, pushing all these RSS readers back to websites will enable publishers to create more revenue."

That's ... boring. Not everyone demands that people watch advertising scattered around the page. Jimmy Maher's "The Digital Antiquarian: an ongoing history of computer entertainment" is an in-depth, high-quality series of essays. It's a (mostly) self-funded labor of love, and a example of something that fits RSS well.

Maybe instead retire bloggers who don't understand the difference between a data syndication format and an app or brand?

Better idea: let's retire Pando Daily and their brain-dead bloggers when they retire Google Reader.
