I try not to put too much stuff on this blog about stuff like RSS to avoid boring you through repetition.
However Jonathan Angel, the West coast editor at Technology Marketing has an interesting interview with Mike Vizard, editor-in-chief at CRN, on how he sees RSS fitting into the traditional publishing business.
I think it’s important that we, as a profession, track how senior editors like Mike are viewing these new technologies. Whilst much of the new technology will fade away, we need to identify the developments than can and are impacting how we communicate.
Religous wars aside (if you’ve has the misfortune to seen any of the childish bickering amongst the RSS glitterati you’ll know just how easy it is to lose the will to live) if a new technology makes communication more effective, we have to be all over it like a rash.
