Summary: RSS is alive, most UI's miss the point of the format but people are continuing to build new things with it.

Considering that I got to this page from an RSS feed, no, I would say it's not. I'm not the only one I know that has a list of RSS feeds that they read daily.

And if they didn't exist, I'd be forced to write something to create them. I don't have time to check dozens of sites every day to see if they have new content.

That page lacks an RSS feed. So I made one.

Pity there isn't an RSS feed.

PS - it's random. Keep refreshing until you get the answer you like.

When all of you are done fighting, go take a look at http://lazyreadr.com ; I'm betting the figurative farm on it

I have a feeling a service to generate single page, single word long question domains could actually be successful.

Once people start talking about whether something's dead it's definitely on the way out.
