Fred Wilson says on A VC that RSS is too hard. He's right. Every year will make it easier. Will this be the year? Who knows. But I won't be investing in email delivery systems. I'd be curious as to coming up with a methodology for measuring email versus RSS. Is the value delivered by RSS in terms of bytes delivered, or dollars made even 1% of email? Probably not yet. But I think soon, RSS will be delivering 1% of the value of email delivery systems. And then 10% and so on. That's my prediction. Fred's right; my Dad's not yet using RSS. Maybe it will take MS Office 12 or Vista to make it easy enough.
