Inessential - Brent Simmons has Net News Wire again and does a great state of RSS and lays out his renewed goals for the app. While I think that trying to push people back to curating their information over Twitter and Facebook's algorithms is noble, I'm not sure if it isn't just Gen X nerd nostalgia for the days before social media. I would love to see blogs come back; I moved most of my output here to at least own what I am sharing out. I just don't know if it isn't misplaced nostalgia.
