"Yesterday morning, I woke up and checked my news app while still in bed. The headlines from ProPublica, The New York Times, and The Guardian loaded instantly: a curated stream of stories updated overnight. I scrolled through, tapped on a few pieces, then switched over to my podcast app to queue up something for my morning gym session. I queued up three new episodes: one from Search Engine, the first episode of the new ProPublica Narrated podcast, and an episode of Revolution.Social."
"A single core standard powers all of it. When people think about RSS, they most often associate it with the long-departed Google Reader - but it's far from dead. From direct subscriptions to syndication into apps that aggregate and re-present content, RSS remains the standard for feeds. It's the glue that holds the timely web together. Most people know RSS powers blogs and podcasts."
Personal information consumption is driven by feeds that deliver news, podcasts, and updates automatically into chosen apps without visiting source websites. A single core standard, RSS, enables direct subscriptions, syndication, and aggregation across diverse services. Feeds power not only blogs and podcasts but also popular news apps, business services, and status monitoring for weather, software, and infrastructure. Publishers may treat feeds as secondary, yet entire industries and many background services depend on them. Simple, open feed standards provide reliable, interoperable infrastructure that keeps the timely web functioning and accessible.
