To "revive" RSS, wider support from content providers is needed, not from software to consume feeds.

Can't display a feed that doesn't exist!

It's a circle that right now is spiraling the wrong direction. I hope that the community can come together and improve the user experience around RSS. This in turn will help show the value of RSS to publishers. The current user experience around RSS isn't always very use friendly. On the other hand, the people that care about RSS are designers, developers and journalists. We should be able to turn the tide.
We did our part. As of a couple weeks ago, you can now syndicate your published email conversations as an RSS feed:

Don't forget an important part of the picture — feed autodiscovery tags. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-atompub-autodiscovery...
