I think the article oversimplifies a lot. Resource efficiency is just a tiny part of why RSS isn't more popular, and definitely not the main cause. It's actually a complex issue; for instance, RSS deprieves services from a way to effectively profile users. Besides, the solution is not clarified enough. I read the linked website but there isn't a lot of details. Is it a sort of cloud service that receives push notifications for the user? The only thing I see is that it requires registration, and that can't be a good signal. By the way, most RSS clients don't update that often. Mine does it every six hours. |

The solution is a cloud service, as mentioned on its site. It monitors really many sources for you and filters what is actually interesting to you and then notifies you.
It doesn't ask for any registration, the only authorization is needed just to prevent exploitation.
Consider you want to apply to a matching job announcement 1st, before others. Then updating every 6 hours may be not enough.
